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.
First Trimester. I have had cramping off and on since 3 or 4 days after the time I should have ovulated like I was going to start my period, so I was dreading having a horrific period. However, yesterday when I was supposed to start I didn't. I am NEVER late.
