16 weeks 6 days pregnant.been to hospital already.lots of really painful cramp like pains.what could be causing this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Causes: Most common cause of preterm cramping is dehydration. Second most common cause is a urinary tract infection. Other causes can be problems with placenta (placenta previa, for instance). Lots of things can irritate the uterus, for instance, when women have diarrhea or problems with intestine, can cause cramping in uterus as well. A cervical length ultrasound should definitely be done. Make sure!
