Strongish cramps: worried!!

[amy246]

I'm currently about six weeks pregnant. Before now I've just had normal stretching feelings in my uterus, but the last 12 hrs I've been getting stronger lower abdo pain. I've had three seperate episodes and it feels strong enough for me to be worried: what might this be? Should I see a dr?

Are the pains on one side? Any bleeding or spotting? I've been getting cramping too at just under 7 weeks and I think unless it is really painful they usually say it is the uterus / ligaments stretching. I know it's frightening though! If you're really worried or have the pain on one side / any spotting then I'd say speak with your Doctor.

No bleeding and it's across my whole lower abdomen. It woke me up last night but I haven't had it today yet. I'm feeling a bit better about it now, hopefully it is just normal cramping.

I had this, it woke me up on several occasions, the pain was awful! All was well, the pain stopped after about 12 weeks.
