How long does the cramps last during pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This varies: Cramping in pregnancy has different causes at different times in the pregnancy. In the first trimester cramping is usually due to the uterus stretching. Braxton-Hicks contractions (false labor) can cause cramping in the third trimester.Changes in calcium needs can also cause cramping which is usually in the legs. Hope this helps.
