Thanks doc she has been having some cramping not constant but this was before she pulled what ever she did and still now? But no spotting?  Some one told me it could be her uterus exspanding

Hi!
If you girlfriend was my patient, I would advise you not to worry too much.  At this point in the pregnancy, the uterus is still quite small and it is protected by the pubic bone and pelvis.  Your friend probably just strained a muscle.
IF she has any cramping or spotting, she should contact her doctor, otherwise she is probably just fine.
Good luck!
