Pregnancy Cramps — Totally Normal or Not?
By Dr. Soma Kumari – Consultant Gynecologist & Obstetrician, Gurgaon
Pregnant and feeling crampy? You’re not alone — and yes, in many cases, it’s totally normal.
As your body gears up for baby, your uterus stretches, blood flow increases, and digestion slows down — all of which can cause mild, occasional cramps, especially early on.
Nothing to stress about:
- Light cramps after a walk or sex
- Gas or bloating
- Uterus making room for baby
Call your doctor if:
- Pain is sharp or on one side
- You have spotting or bleeding
- Cramps come with fever, chills, or odd discharge
Pro tip: Drink more water, take breaks, and don’t ignore what your body’s telling you. A pregnancy pillow and small meals can help too.
“Most cramps are harmless, but if something feels off — trust your gut and reach out. I’m here to support you.”
