I AM FIVE WEEKS PREGNANT AND AM HAVING CRAMPS IN MY LOWER BELLY AND BACK I HAVE HAD 2 MISCARRIAGES AND THEY BOTH GAVE ME CRAMPS I ALSO HAVE A FIVE YEAR OLD CHILD BUT I CAN NOT REMEMBER IF I HAD CRAMPS WITH HER I AM NOT SURE IF I AM AT HIGH RISK OF AN OTHER MISCARRIAGE OR NOT IF YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE ON WHAT I SHOULD DO I WOULD GREATLY APPERCIATE IT.
what kind of cramps? if they are gentleGentle laxative cramps then i would say its probably ok, i had cramping early on in all 3 of my successful pregnancies, if you have any bleeding and the cramping is bad then it could be another miscarriage, seek medical advice if you are bleeding and there is alot of pain.
good luck :)
I have one baby (only tried once, so I'd say it was successful :)) and I had cramps from about 5 wks to 7 wks with brownish and pinkish spottingVaginal bleeding between periods. I was terrified, because the cramps were like menstrual cramps in my pelvisCancer - renal pelvis or ureter Nerve supply to the pelvis Pelvic laparoscopy Pelvis x-ray and lower back. I was such a pain with my OB that she agreed to do a sono at around 5w5d and there was a little heartbeat flickering away. She said it was likely implantation bleeding and to monitor it with cautious optimism. I did, and Nathan Joseph was born 7/5 at 9lbs! Definitely demand a sono, if you can, given the history of m/c. If you can't get it with your OB find a clinic to do it. It's better than wondering, at least it was for me. Best of luck to you!
i had pretty intense cramps that early on- they felt like menstral cramps but much worse. lasted several weeks, and i lost a lot of sleep from the pain. dd is now 3 months and i'm losing even more sleep. :)
good luck :)
