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.
I understand that its perfectly normal to have cramps and also my OBGYN told me this week (I am about 7 weeks with my first baby)... went to the er this past week for cramps. This is my first child, and i am really concerened about the whole cramping issue. I went to the OBGYN,and they told me as long as i dont bleed, everything should be ok.
