Pregnant mothers experience abdominal cramping as a normal sign during the first trimester of pregnancy but this can be otherwise a signal of an underlying problem. If cramps become intense and accompanied by severe bleeding and pain, or if one thinks she is not pregnant, consult a doctor immediately.
Causes of cramping during pregnancy. Cramping typically occurs when the uterus expands, causing the ligaments and muscles that support it to stretch. It may be more noticeable when you sneeze, cough, or change positions. During the second trimester, a common cause of cramping is round ligament pain.
