Very Early Pregnancy Symptoms - Abdominal Pressure/cramping?

Hi. I'm 25 year old female and I just the other day I found out that I'm pregnant. That was terrific news for me and I was ready to live through all symptoms that pregnancy cause just for a pleasure and power of giving life.
It all started with morning sickness and nausea and it was terrible for me to handle all this but I somehow learn how to live with this.
But one thing is bothering me. I started to suffer from strong abdominal pain. These abdominal cramps are lasting for several hours and I just couldn’t believe that they are “normal” sign of pregnancy.
If someone knows a bit more about this- feel free to participate!

Well, I don’t think that I know much about this but I'm sure in one thing- severe or persistent abdominal pain is never normal thing to feel. So, if I'm on your place- I would seek for professional help.
There are several things that can cause excessive abdominal pain in pregnancy. First of them is definitely ectopic pregnancy! It occurs when a fertilized egg is implanted outside the uterus-in most cases- in one of the fallopian tubes.
Miscarriage could be also a cause because, besides bleeding, women feel abdominal pain a few hours to a few days later.
There is one more condition called placental abruption which could be the cause of strong abdominal pains. It is a partial or complete separation of the placenta from the uterus before the baby is born.

Hi everyone, my name is Danielle. My boyfriend and I had a fantastic weekend a week and a half ago (Saturday the 8th) just so I am not going too far into detail with this one, but I think you know what happened considering the topic lol. My last period was June 27th or 28th? Him and I were using the "pull out" method. We didnt just use it once, we used it about 4 times in a row without him getting up to urinate with about 1/2 breaks inbetween. This past Saturday I started feeling really weird and my stomach felt a little bouncey. Sunday when I woke up I felt very bloated and crampy I felt like I weighed 800lbs. I was thinking that maybe I was getting my period with the cramps and stuff even though it was way too early for my period. So Sunday night at about 1am I went to use the bathroom and noticed a little bit of clear mucus with a red tinge to it when I wiped. I was like, ok, period early? Then the next morning when I went to use the bathroom, when I wiped it was light brown and lasted a short amount of time, then came back later in the day, then went away again. I had a VERY small amount yesterday again that I only noticed one time. My cramps were less yesterday but I still felt extremely bloated with minor backaches. How big of a chance do you think there is that this was from implantation?.......This would be my second child. With my first I never spotted but I do remember cramping and thinking my period was coming like I have been.......comments welcome......Thanks!

I am having severe abdominal pain and just found out yesterday that I am 3 weeks pregnant. I went to the ER and they had done a full work up on me. Everything was completely normal, we have no idea why. You definetly need to go. I am a nurse in the ER and waited 3 agonizing days to get checked out, the possibilities are edless as to why...ectopic, cysts, apendicitis, constipation, implantation, and i could keep going. Dont let them say dont worry, ectopic pregnancies are fatal to you. ensure you get your quanitative hcg levels checked every 2 days for about 1 week, get an ultrasdound and urinalysis. I hope that I helped you, I just wish I know why I am having all this pain...Hope that you have more luck than I did!

lilmidget865 The same thing is happening to me right now. But I used a condom everytime. It has been 4 days now and the feeling isn't going away and there still the light pink "mucus". I'm definitely in a state of paranoia. I'd be curious if you have found anything out since it happened! Until then, I'm going to bide my time and wait to take a test.

rmost, the spotting you are having could mean you are ovulating. when was the first day of your last period?

Wow girl... you've got a LOT happening!!! 1. go to doc. and get a check up. (This will tell you how the baby is doing, how far along you are, AND a person to tell your concerns about the baby's health) 2. think job and family/friends support. (you've just been thru a LOT! It's likely you will get a mix of those for and against the pregnancy. TAKE THIS SLOW and think it thru.) 3. consider a church if you aren't in one... maybe you have a friend that goes. It's a great place to find support. 4. and what I think is the best part... try to focus on the little one. Just know that aside from all the bad you've had to deal with... "he" gave you something better than himself... a baby that will love you unconditionally. A baby grows up... but I have had four... could share with you the ups and downs of motherhood. But really, it's worth it.
hang in there... your not alone!

Hi all!

I'm a mom of a 15 month old boy and I've never had this happen to me except before my periods. I was on birth control for a little over a year and recently got off of it because I thought it was making my hormones go bizerk. About 2 weeks ago (a week after being off of the pill) my husband and I had unprotected sex. A few days after that I found this clear gel-like blob of discharge. No blood in it at all. A few days after that, I started having these dull cramps in my uterus as if I'm about to start my period - but it'd be 3 weeks early, so I'm guessing that that's not it. Anyways, I've been having these dull cramps now for the past 4 days. I know in early pregnancy you have cramps on a certain side from the uterus stretching, but if I were pregnant, I would only be about 1-2 weeks. I called the hospital and the R.N. told me that since it's too early to take a prego test or have a missed period, to go ahead and act pregnant in my habits. Shocked

I just need answers. Is anyone willing to help?

BTW - if I AM pregnant, this baby would be born within a week of the first. Talk about coinencidence. Wink
