Is Lower Abdominal Cramps Normal During Early Days Of Pregnancy?
Question: I found out recently that I am pregnant. I have cramps daily in the lower part of my stomach area. Is that normal for a first pregnancy or should I see a doctor?
Brief Answer:
Common symptom in pregnancy
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
It is very common to have off an on cramps in stomach and is due to enlarging uterus caused by growing baby.
No need to worry unless cramps are persisting for hours or are associated with spotting or excessive discharge from vagina.
Get an ultrasound done in case you have not had any so far.
Keep visiting your gynecologist at regular intervals.
All the best.
