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.
Is there anything I can do to ease cramps during pregnancy? Yes, there are steps you can take to ease cramps that are a normal pregnancy problem. Throughout your pregnancy the tough, flexible tissues (ligaments) that connect your bones will stretch. When you move around, this may cause mild cramps on one or both sides of your body.
