From what I have heard, an ectopic pregnancy is very painful (sharp pain to the point when you have to take drugs), but I have never experienced it.
With this pregnancy, I had period-like cramps for a couple of weeks, some of them quite strong - if it hadn't been for hCG levels doubling over 48 hours I would have been freaking out. I have also had a miscarriage and those cramps were very rhythmic and I was also spotting. If the cramps get stronger or if you see any bleeding, you should definitely consider going to the ER.
yes you should
if your pregnant & having
unexplainable leaks pains & drains
you should see a doctor right away
Hey. Congratulations! I had cramps at 12 weeks and also had a bit of bleeding so I went in to the er. They said that it was normal and is called round ligament pain from the ligaments in your stomach muscles stretching and making room. If you have any bleeding, definitely go to the er. Mention it to the mil dr if you see them on a reg basis or if you see them before reg doc.
