Severe cramps

I keep getting really bad cramps from my left lower stomach and pain shoots down to my left knee. Feels like I can't straighten my legs because it stretches my tummy. I'm 15 weeks pregnant n getting worried.. Any idea wot it could be?

braxton hicks contractions and regular contractions r just ur uterous contracting. which actually happens even when ur not pregnant! u judt feel them when ur pregnant because ur uterous is so much bigger n closer.!

from what I have learned this weekend from having to call a nurse....if your pain is on the left side only with sharp shooting pain, you need to go get checked. I don't want to scare you but it could be a sign of something not going right. You should take precautions just to be safe. Especially if it is very painfull. Blessings!

I thought I would be too early in my pregnancy to be getting them yet
