What Causes Stomach Cramps During Pregnancy?
Hello I m 5 weeks pregnant and I have on and off again severe period cramps. I m also a little constipated but have used the bathroom twice in the last 6 hours. No bleeding, just pain in lower abdomen, and back and constipation pain. Should I worry about the pain?

Hi,
Severe cramps in lower abdomen on early pregnancy need to be cared for. Constipation can cause such pains but purgative should not be taken at the most a glycerine suppository for adults can be used only once for easy motion.
Please consult your doctor. She may start hormone pills & pills to reduce uterine contractions after examining you and I would also advise for constipation. Till then take rest. Drink sufficient water. Take a good rest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
