Pregnancy Cramps

I am currently 10 weeks pregnant and every now and then i have these cramps not constant though. Last year i had a miscarriage and i get kinda worried at times. What is this ?

Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you that it is very common to experience cramping throughout pregnancy. The uterus is basically a large muscular sack that holds the baby.  As it expands contractions occur--more commonly known as stretching pains.  As long as these are mild and irregular and NOT associated with bleeding there is no cause for concern.
Good luck!

Some women don't experience nausea the while pregnancy it's lightens up as your pregnancy progresses. You are fine nothing to worry about.

Hi! I'm 9w 4d pregnant. I don't feel anymore nausea,just always tired. Sometimes I have little cramps but nothing special...tomorrow I'm going to the 1st midwife visit. How can she make sure that I am still real pregnant? I made two tests on the fifth week.

Yours is normal! It's your growing baby pushing on the walls and your tailbone. everyone gets it.

Cramping is FINE don't worry! I have cramps to it's usually gas. It'll be fine as long as they don't hurt so much they double you over. And if you start having terrible bleeding that's when you worry! Just little spots is no big deal.

Eyshaz its normal. You will have a backache mostly all the time. Cramps are just the uterus stretching. Good luck.
