Cramping in Early Pregnancy?

Hello Ladies...... Im Due January 14th according to pregnancy ticker.
I have not seen a Doctor yet.

I am Cramping badly..... I have a bloody pregnancy test and Home test as well. I
have known I am pregnant for a week or more.

Is this cramping normal? Should I be worried.

What can I do next?

Myself and a lot of other women I know experienced this as well. My doctor said that it was totally normal because it's your uterus and muscles etc beginning to stretch out. No one told me that before so I freaked out calling the doctor. (no one also told me that a little dark blood is normal either) They said that it was fine, but to call if bright red blood accompanied the cramping. Of course ask your doctor about it when you see them though. And congrats!

A cramping or stretching feeling in the uterus during early pregnancy is very normal. I have experienced a few miscarriages and the difference between normal and not is consistent bleeding(bright red and fairly heavy) and cramps that tend to come consistently, like if you had your period, and get increasingly intense. The best thing to do is head to the doctor and have them check it out, though. Chances are it is completely normal, but you will probably stress out about it until you know for sure, so might as well get checked out. Congrats, though, and best of luck to you!

I hope your experience is different than mine. I was due Jan 3rd. I almost made it to 5 weeks and then I started cramping and bleeding. The Dr saw me and said I had a early miscarriage known as a chemical pregnancy. If you are really concerned I would go to the Dr and have blood drawn to check your hormone levels.

I hope you're uterus is just contracting...

What the other ladies have said is true for me also. With my first child every little pain wigged me out. But the pains and signs of bllod they are telling you about are normal. However, you should see a doctor ASAP, just to have all your blood work done and all the tests ran. Good luck to you.
