Getting very scared about these cramps...

Kristen

So I just reach 10 weeks in my pregnancy and this is the third time that I've gotten very bad cramps. The first time I went to the ER (at 7 weeks) because it was enough for me to double over in pain and making it very hard to breathe. The same thing happened a couple days ago and it was even more severe. I started watching out for bleeding afraid that I was having a miscarriage. My stomach can get so tender that I've stoped doing things I like doing like working out because even things like sneezing can cause a bad cramp to start. The last time I talked to my doctor about these cramps, they told me it's common to feel cramping because my uterus is expanding, but the kind of cramps they were describing didn't sound like the kind I've pain I'm having. Please help! If anyone has any suggestions or has been through this or any advice please share! This is my first pregnancy and I'm not sure if what I'm feeling is normal or more to the extreme.
