Cramping! Help!

Rachel • Sun, Aug 16 • 36 year old 1st time mom to be & beyond excited! Such an amazing new world I never thought I'd experience!

I'm 6 weeks pregnant today and I've had minor cramping off and on for 2 weeks. Tonight however I had a bout of cramping that was pretty severe and lasted about 5 mins. No spotting during or after. Is this normal? 1st baby and I'm experiencing those things nobody ever tells you about even for someone who thought they were pretty knowledgeable with pregnancy & babies!

probably just stretching. if you get a fever or pain on onr side could be sign of ectopic pregnancy. you will need an ultrasound to confirm

Could just be the uterus stretching... Causes cramps

No fever either? If cramps are all on one side and you have fever call your Dr.
