Some cramping is normal early on, although it's always a good idea to call your doctor with concerns like this. Drinking lots of fluids and putting your feet up will sometimes make it stop.

How far along are you? I've had some slight twinges throughout my pregnancy as my uterus grows, and what felt more like cramps at the beginning (first ten weeks). As pblge said, drinking more water helped, as well as taking a break and sitting down.
I have had light menstraul like cramping since six weeks and at least once or twice a week now at nearly eighteen weeks. For me it's more times then not due to slight or sometimes not so slight constipation. Once I clear out my system it will go away for a few days or until I'm a bit backed up again. I also highly recommend lots of water!!

I am 6w6d and have had cramping like my period was going to start for at least the last 4 weeks so probably since implantation started. I had an ultrasound this past Monday and baby is looking good.Saw the baby and yolk sac along with a heartbeat of 130. And yes I am still nervous, I have had 3 miscarriages so I am worried about everything. I have realized that yes, I am constipated all the time so that is causing cramping and bloat, and that cramping early on is normal. The uterus is growing. Call your doctor, I called mine, talked to the nurse and she told me not to worry too much. If I start bleeding go to the hospital. But so far everything is fine.
I know it's hard to not relive our past experience, but remember this is a new pregnancy, God willing all will be okay.
Re: Ugh! Slight cramping.
