cramps and sharp pains in early pregnancy?

Question

I'm not a first time mom, but I never had this type of thing with my son. I'm having period like cramps and sharp pains on my left side(although that only happened twice). I'm 4 weeks pregnant. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thank you in advance.

Answer

I had that with my first pregnancy so much that I panicked and went to the doctor she believed I was having an etopic pregnancy(due to one sided pain) and straight to the hospital I went. Turns out it was just a cyst growing on my tube. Now in this second pregnancy I have cramps all the time which is caused by my fibroids. Honestly I would get checked out just to be safe and give you that peace of mind. I know my cramps are now normal for my condition and have a healthy little one on the way. Good luck and congrats!

Answer

When I was pregnant a few years ago I had very sharp cramps and ended up starting to bleed had to go in for a dnc. This may not be your case it is possible that your body is just adjusting to the pregnancy. I'm 15 weeks and I get cramps every now and then but my Dr said it's nothing to worry about unless I'm bleeding.
