When should I be concerned about cramping?

Question

I've been cramping on and off all day. It's starting to scare me a little.

Answer

If it is mild and not accompanied by any bleeding, you need not worry right now. Period like cramps are very common in the first trimester due to the uterus growing. If the cramps become more painful, like stabbing pain, or unbearable, and/or you notice any bleeding, contact your OB or go to the ER.

Answer

Hey girl. How far along are you? If they are severe with heavy bleeding go to the hospital. Cramps are super normal in the first trimester, and sometimes even go until your second trimester. I had mild cramping with my first pregnancy. But now with my second the cramps are a little stronger and come more frequent. 90% of the time it's just your uterus expanding, but it could also be cramping from bloat, gas, constipation...yanno the glamorous thing pregnancy brings 😉 If you're still worried about it call your OB in the am. Hope that help a little!
