Hi,

I have been cramping the whole time and I am 13 weeks. When I told my dr he said,"Great your uterus is expanding and your body is getting ready for the baby!" That made me feel so much better. My first pregnancy was ectopic so I knew it wasn't that, but I thought I might miscarry.

With my ectopic I had severe throbbing pain very distinctly only on one side. I was very painful, but defintely in a tube not menstral, not pressure on my cervix. I also had a lot of pressure on my behind which is another sign. As long as you don't feel like that or bleed you should probably be okay, but if you're worried talk to your dr.

By the way I'm 13 weeks and have seen a fully formed moving baby and I still worry all the time. We had a checkup Tuesday and I was so ecstatic to hear a heatbeat again because I had gotten so nervous that for some reason somthing was wrong! So I know how you feel. Good luck!
