Avatar f tn Is it normal to have period like cramps during your pregnancy? Im 13 wks. I had those cramps this passed Monday, it woke me out of my sleep. It really made nervous and i checked to make sure i wasn't bleeding and i wasn't.
Avatar f tn THIS IS WHAT RESERCH HAS SHOWS Cramping during all stages of pregnancy is normal, unless it’s accompanied by severe pain or bleeding. During the earliest stages of pregnancy some women mistake the cramping for their menstrual cycle. This could be due to the fact that they may experience a little spot bleeding too. Spotting and cramping are classic symptoms of implantation, which occurs when the fertilized egg attaches itself to the lining of the uterus.

Avatar f tn I've heard that having menstrual like cramps during pregnancy is normal. Mine are not that painful, and are not constant. Is anyone else experiencing cramps or have had them in pregnancy? I seem to worry about every little thing or symptom.
Avatar f tn I am almost 5 weeks pregnant. I have been having cramps that feel like menstrual cramps. I don't have any spotting or anything but it feels like menstrual cramps.. should I be worried? I'm 18 and this is my first pregnancy.
Avatar f tn To me, they didn't feel any different. I was prepared for disappointment because I thought my period was about to come. I don't think every woman feels cramping during implantation, just like every woman does not experience spotting.
Avatar f tn Am 33 weeks and been having menstrual cramps on and of can this be contraction first pregnancy help!
Avatar f tn When I got pregnant, I kept getting menstrual cramps right around the time I was supposed to start my period and after it was late. It felt like I would start literally any minute and like you, I kept feeling wet and running to the bathroom to check. So it's definitely an indication but not a sure thing. You should take a pregnancy test first thing in the morning like clysta said. Good luck!!
Avatar f tn Has anyone experienced menstrual like cramps early in pregnancy? I am almost 6 weeks and have off and on menstrual like cramps anywhere from my sides to my pelvic area. I had an ovarian cyst rupture recently so I was told the pain in my side came from the fluid left around my ovaries and that it would take care of itself. It has been 11 days since the cyst ruptured but I still occasionally have pain.
Avatar f tn Cramping is pretty common during pregnancy and I know of women who have had menstrual-like cramps but Im not sure about anything stronger than that. I would suggest you call your doctor to let them know first thing tomorrow and also dont have sex since cramping sometimes occurs afterwards.

Avatar n tn Hi, There's a long list of issues that can cause abdominal cramps without the presence of a menstrual period, for example: a late or irregular period, pregnancy, stress, indigestion or digestive disorders, an illness, or endometriosis, etc...Menstrual cramps are caused by the uterus contracting when it expels it's lining. For many women cramps can happen 3 to 5 days before a period begins, and also during a period.

20922415 tn?1661860103 During the reproductive years, the pituitary gland in the brain generates hormones (follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH] and luteinizing hormone [LH]) that cause a new egg to mature and be released from its ovarian follicle each month. As the follicle develops, it produces the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone, which thicken the lining of the uterus called the endometrium.

Avatar f tn Lots of women DO experience cramping during pregnancy that feels a bit like mild menstrual cramps. Most likely all is fine. As to how long it lasts, it can vary from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy. If the pains increase or you being spotting, give your doc a call. But otherwise, try to relax. Tylenol can be taken during pregnancy and helps a bit.
