Cramps the finding out I'm pregnant

  On Friday morning at 4:30am I waoke up with really bad pain I thought it was just really bad cramps
  which I have been having...and I couldnt hardly move so Myhusband rushed my to the hospital....and they did a urine test
  and it came back positive....I was just in shock we have been trying for over a year...but I didnt think it was possible...and the last 5 or so  months have been hell...
  my periods have been very painfull and heavy...also I was gettign dizzy...went to the ER twice last month....My period started on Feb 2 and Yesterday March 5 I found out I was preg..they did blood tests to make sure..and I also bought a test just to see the results myself..
  But I'm just wondering what could have caused that extream pain...I also had an internal U/S done and they said that looked ok
  and even last night i was having a dull cramping pain....and now I still just dont feel right
  please if you can offer any insite It will be greatly appericated
  Thx

Dear Trisha,
If an ultrasound verifies a normal pregnancy then I would recommend waiting and watching, this may be normal pregnancy pains.  If the ultrasound doesn't verify this than I would check a blood quantitative bHCG, 2 tests 48 hours apart, they should approximately double.  I would see a gynecologist for an evaluation.
