in 1st Trimester
I am four weeks and two days pregnant. I keep having a horrible pain in my lower abdomen, it is like the pain i feel when I am about to start my period, but I have already missed my period. Should I be worried about the pain? Is t normal? Does everyone feel that the first month?

    It's very normal to cramp, especially the type you get when you have your period.  However, if they're severe and/or you see blood, you should contact your OB just in case. I'm sure you have nothing to worry about though!! :)

    Cramping is normal according to my nurse, my RE and fellow bumpies.  I've had it since before I got my BFP.

    If the pain is intense or accompanied by blood, contact your dr.

    It's totally normal to have cramps, but if you are doubling over in pain, I would call the doctor.

    Totally normal.  Mine started at 7dpo and lasted up until I hit the 5 week mark. Now, the cramps are just occasional.

    Can be very normal.  I have had cramping with previous pregnancies and all has been well.  It often feels like my period was coming any day now, but I didn't have any bleeding.  It lasted off and on through the 1st trimester for all three kids and I have had it this pregnancy as well.

    Agree with everyone on here - Cramping is normal. I was getting them at about the same time (which is how I figured out that I was pregnant), and they lasted for about a week. However, if you are really concerned, call the doctor. I did, and even though I was nervous, it was nice to know that my blood work showed my HCG levels increasing the way they should be! Gave me piece of mind.

    Could be gastrointestinal. Are you gassy/bloated? Early on in my pregnancy, I woke up in the middle of the night with severe menstrual-like cramping. It turned out to be stomach issues.

    I wouldn't worry unless you're spotting/bleeding.
