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.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
