General Medical Question - Urgent - Cramps During Pregnancy

De Stijl · 11-07-2009, 01:34 PM

So I'm 10 weeks along now and I still have cramps. Sometimes they are really bad to just light cramps. I heard that cramping is a sign of miscarriage. Is this cramping normal? I mean nothing else happens, like bleeding or anything, just the cramps.

please go and get checked out at A and E just in case
it can be a sign of a miscarriage

Cramping is one of those things that can be totally benign and will go away on it's own, to being a symptom of something more serious going on, like a miscarriage. The only way to tell is to look at it in the context of any other symptoms you are having, like a fever, or discharge, and have an internal exam done. If you don't have an appointment with your OB/GYN in the next week you should get one, and if you are having any bleeding at all you need to go to A&E.

when i had some bleeding i was told that miscarriages are suspected by having bleeding with clots or with cramping. i think miscarriage cramps would be at least as bad as period pain, but usually moreso. have you seen a midwife yet? could you ring her tomorrow or see your gp they might be able to refer you to an early pregnancy unit.

In addition to Aidey's post, if you don't have a midwife, obstetrician/ gynae at the moment then see your doctor
