Question

I am exactly 6 weeks pregnant. I had mild cramping....it ...


Sent to Health Experts November 19, 2007 11:30 a.m.

I am exactly 6 weeks pregnant. I had mild cramping....it was probably more like a 'stretching' feeling in my upper and lower abdomen that came intermittently throughout the evenings during week 4 and 5. The cramping is pretty well completely gone and I'm worried! I had a miscarriage about a month and a half ago, so if I have cramps, I'm worried it's a miscarriage and if they stop, I'm worried that my uterus and baby has stopped growing! It's a catch 22! Please, give me some answers! Thank you.

Tina27,


Cramping and even spotting are completely normal throughout pregnancy. So if the cramping is mild, there is nothing to worry about. This happens periodically throughout pregnancy, and not the whole time so what you are experiencing is quite normal. If however cramping becomes severe and you also have severe bleeding, then this needs to be seen by a doctor immediately.

Tina27,


As I stated above, what you are experiencing is quite NORMAL. What else would you like to know?
