Let's examine some of the numerous causes of pregnancy cramps.
Pregnancy Cramps Caused By Implantation
These pregnancy cramps may be one of the first signs of pregnancy and are caused when the fertilized egg implants itself into the uterine lining. These pregnancy cramps are something like normal cramps experienced during menstruation.
Pregnancy Cramps Caused By Hormones
Increasing hormone levels work to soften your ligaments in preparation for birth, cause a rocking motion in your uterus. These pregnancy cramps are normally nothing to worry about unless they become severe.
Pregnancy Cramps Caused By Braxton Hicks Contractions
These types of pregnancy cramps are quite normal and are usually experienced to some degree in all pregnancies. They are merely your uterus exercising it's muscle in order to prepare for real labor pains in the future.
Pregnancy Cramps Caused By Bowel Problems
Hormones actually slow down your digestive system during pregnancy, allowing food to ferment longer in your system causing gas. These pregnancy cramps can be alleviated somewhat by increased walking to get your digestive system moving again.
Pregnancy Cramps Caused By Impending Miscarriage
These pregnancy cramps are usually quite severe and accompanied by vaginal bleeding. Seek medical help right away.
Pregnancy Cramps Caused by Impending Labor
These pregnancy cramps are caused by uterine contractions which cause a hardening of the entire belly and gradually increase in strength and frequency. When these pregnancy cramps are coming five minutes apart, it is time to go to the hospital.
Pregnancy cramps range from the mild to the severe throughout your pregnancy. Never hesitate to call your doctor if you experience truly painful pregnancy cramps.
