stomach pains

[mgarza_14]

I am 8 weeks pregnant and have been having like stomach cramps, they feel like I have to go to the restroom but when I go nothing comes out, do yall know what it could be?

[mgarza_14]

I have no bleeding/clotting

[mgarza_14]

Yes i do get cramping occasionally,  but the stomach pains are pains like I can't poo. Almost like if I have gas but nothing comes out. I may just be constipated. Is it ok to take laxatives does any one know? I drink about 5 bottles of water a day

I'm 19 weeks and also get occasional cramping but it never last long my doc says it's normal. But you may have a uti

I'm 5 weeks and i have cramps.  It's off and on. Not  painful but there. Idk if they are the same but my doctor said it is normal.

Cramping is normal unless there is bleeding/clotting. It's your uterus growing and making room for the baby. As for going to the bathroom, do you mean pee or poo? If you mean pee, you could have a UTI which is common. If you mean poo, you could be constipated and need to increase your water intake to 10-12 glasses a day. Good luck!
