I am 8 weeks pregnant and have been suffering extremely painful cramps, lower back pain, and pressure in my rectum since yesterday afternoon. Paracetamol isn't helping at all and I feel terrible although I haven't had any bleeding. Is if possible this is an early sign of a miscarriage and bleeding will start soon? The pain is so bad I phoned EPAU, they have said they won't see me unless I'm bleeding. I had a scan about 2 weeks ago because of pain and to rule out ectopic pregnancy as I've had one previously. Has anyone else has similar symptoms and what was the outcome?
