A member asked:

Is contraction like cramps at 9 weeks pregnant normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Rebecca Gray answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Possibly: Some cramping in early pregnancy is normal. It is caused by the stretching of the uterus. Bleeding is never normal and that combined with cramping should be evaluated immediately.
