A member asked:
I get strong painful cramps when im about to menestrate can you also get the same strong painful cramping when you are pregnant or is there a diffrenc?

Yes: Your uterus can cramp prior to your periods, but cramping in pregnancy is more troublesome depending on the point in your pregnancy. Early cramping can be a sign of impending miscarriage, and late cramping can be false or true labor. You should be seen to determine what is going on.
