9wks pregnant and cramping
I’m 9wks pregnant and cramping pretty badly. There’s no bleeding or spotting but the cramps are pretty bad and started a few days ago and got worse. I’ll wake up in the middle of the night in pain even and not able to fall back asleep. I haven’t had my first doctors appointment or blood work done yet. They only want to see me when I’m 11wks pregnant. I never had this with my past pregnancy. Is this normal? Should I call them and demand blood work or an ultrasound before my appointment? My appointment is on the phone, it’s not blood work or an ultrasound so I don’t even know when they’ll actually have me go in. Where I live you get an ultrasound and blood work done at 6-8wks but I’m the only one that got pushed back pretty far so I’m also scared about that.
-> I should also add that I have this really weird feeling in my stomach like something is wrong. I keep trying to tell myself that it’s nothing but with the cramps getting worse and that feeling getting stronger I’m definitely panicking a bit. I’m not the type to demand anything or call for no reason so I really want to make sure that I get a second opinion.
