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.
If a woman is pregnant and bleeding, with or without pain, she should call her doctor for further instruction. Bleeding in the first trimester of pregnancy may signify either a miscarriage (or a threatened miscarriage), an ectopic pregnancy, or may be due to implantation bleeding. If one is experiencing a miscarriage (or a threatened miscarriage) one will usually always have bleeding associated with uterine cramping.
