I am 4 and 1\2 weeks pregnant and occasional cramping in my lower abs and pelvic area. At the beginning of the year I was diagnosed as having an ectopic pregnancy. I am not having any of the same symptoms as I did with the ectopic. Have any of you faced cramping in the early part of your pregnancy? If so what type of cramping and the duration of the cramping. Of course the doctor will be doing regular blood work to be sure I do not go though what I did last time. I just worry something can be wrong.

It could just be normal stuff that most of us go through. For me, it felt like my period was about to start any moment. I am 16 weeks and still sometimes it feels that way.

I get a cramp or more like a pulled muscle everytime I laugh to hard, sit up to fast or try to roll over. It occurs in my lower abdomen both left and right side. What is that all about? Anybody having that?

It turns out I had a miscarriage. I am glad it was not another ectopic, but it still saddens me to have lost another baby. Alot of the cramping I had seemed to be normal, but it started getting worse and the doctor ran some blood. She said I most likely would miscarry, but there was a chance it was ectopic. About 4 hours after she gave me the news I had a miscarriage.

I have this problem. I am 14 weeks and this has been happening for awhile now. Happens when I cough or sneeze too if I don't pull my knees toward my chest first. I think it's the fact that the ligaments are looser and everything is stretching.

Jessie, I am so sorry for your loss. It's an awful thing to have to go through. <HUGS>
