Is cramping normal at 7 weeks?

I was sexually assaulted yesterday morning. I went to the hospital and I was given a lot of medication. I'm so scared about losing the baby from the stress. I've been cramping for the last 2 hours but I'm not spotting.

Cramping can be normal as your uterus grows however, based on the fact that you were recently given medications, it's probably a good idea to check in with your doctor because this isn't normal circumstances. 

I'm sorry to hear that you were assaulted. No one deserves to go through that for any reason. Sending you lots of healing thoughts.

Oh my god I'm so sorry that happened to you. I hope you have a lot of love and support around you to help you through this. 

Cramping can be normal, absolutely, but given the circumstances I would probably go and get checked out just to give yourself some peace of mind.

I'm so sorry. I hope everything is okay with your baby. Lots of healing thoughts being sent your way.

I agree with the PPs. I'm incredibly sorry this happened and would get checked due to the extenuating circumstances. I strongly recommend also getting a referral to a therapist. Immediate therapy after a sexual assault helps reduce the chance of getting PTSD and would be beneficial for anyone, pregnant or not. (((Hugs)))

I am so sorry that happened to you! Definitely see a doctor, and reach out to a hotline for assault victims. Thinking of you.

Thank you everyone. I went to the doctor today. She knew what happened because the hospital called her. She said everything looks good. As of this evening I've been spotting...just a tiny bit with dark blood. I have been in contact with a therapist already. I'm so worried I could lose the baby with all the stress going on. I've just been praying. I know it's the only thing I can do now.

Keep your head up, you got this and are in control. You're pregnant right now and so far have no reason to think otherwise. It's great you went to a therapist and can begin healing. Keep praying and doing whatever you need to calm your mind.

Very glad that you went to the doctor. I'm sorry that you're spotting. Try to remember that spot and can be very normal after being checked out. We will be praying for you and also praying that the spotting stops. Stress doesn't cause a miscarriage. Trauma can but hopefully since everything looked good, this is just irritation. Please keep us updated? So many prayers coming to you.
