Ecotopic(or something) or just paranoize?

Im 7 weeks and for 2weeks nou I've been getting cramp-like pains in my overy area's as well as across my lower belly. My dokter is on holiday so asking him is impossable. Some at work is putting the words of tube-pregnancy in my head because of the pains...could it be?

There is no spotting.And the pain is not unbearable.On my first scan the dr showed me my tubes and said nothing about a problem. Am I paranoize ?

Im 14+5 and I was experiencing the exact same thing maybe a week ago. I went to e.r. and found out i had a hemorrhage in my placenta....not saying this is what's going with you but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

It's definitely not an ectopic pregnancy because they would have been able to tell at your first scan. Like a previous poster said it may be ligament pain from your uterus stretching. Good luck!

Here in South Africa you wait...and I live in a small town called Thabazimbi.There is only 3 docters I can visit on our medical aid and the sisters are only available to look pretty for the docters. The other 2 Dr's I woundn"t go to even if I was dying...sounds harsh but that's how I feel.

Even if your doctor is on vacation you should be able to call the doctors office and speak to a nurse or even another doctor.

I was the exact same way freaking out that is was a tubal pregnancy.  I had my first ultrasound at 9 weeks to make sure.  And sure enough everything  was fine.  As long as there is no spotting. My ovary was hurting because that is the ovary that I ovulated from so it takes time for it to go down.  There is a word for it but I don't know on the top oh my head.

I am sure you are fine. I had these cramps everyday from week 4 to week 7. Sometimes they were painful enough to wake me up at the middle of the night. Drinking plenty of water did help me a lot.

I had asked my Doctor on my frist visit and she said this was absolutely normal as long as the crampa are not severe or accomoanied with bleeding. Infact she said she too had these cramps with her first baby. Its your uterus streching to make room for yiur little one.

i hope you feel better soon.

Im not a professional just a 3rd time mommy to be clear. From my experience this is normal in early pregnancy. Not many women know but when u get pregnant your ovary produces a cyst on it that releases hormones to help suppport the pregnancy and then it shrinks and dissappears. Ask ur doc about it if ur concerned. If the pain continues to get worse then see a doctor asap. Take care. Im sure youre just fine.
