Brief Answer:
may or may not be normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Mild to moderate lower abdominal cramps are sometimes seen if period is delayed. It can also occur in early pregnancy. However, if the pain is severe, I will recommend visiting a doctor for an ultrasound scan.

If your wife has a regular period, it seems she has passed her due period dates. In this case, I recommend getting a urine pregnancy test (if it is not done yet) to check for pregnancy. Let me know the results of urine pregnancy test and we can discuss further.

Hope this helps.
