I've been having some new stomach pains, like a mild cramping feeling, and my period is a bit late. Could this pain be a sign that I might have conceived? I am really hoping to be pregnant.
A little pain is normal because of hormonal changes, but don't neglect it if it's heavy. Instead of worrying and doing expensive emergency hospital visits later, just call your clinic and ask the nurse first.
Having PCOS made me over-sensitive to any abdominal pain. Mild twinges are fine as the body prepares, but please don't take any pain killers without asking your doctor. Keep track of how severe it is.
I completely understand how terrifying any stomach pain can feel in early pregnancy. I used to panic at every little twinge. Mild cramping is common, but please call your doctor if it's constant, just for your peace of mind.
Mild cramping can happen during implantation or as the uterus expands. However, if the pain is severe or accompanied by bleeding, it's not normal. It's best to consult your gynac to rule out any issues.
Sometimes mild stretching pain happens. I used to do very gentle stretching and walking only after my doctor said it's safe. But if you have sharp pain, please rest and contact your doctor immediately.
