Dear Boo Boo
The best would be to have your obstetrician check the pregnancy to ensure that there are no uterine problems such as fibroids or uterine anomalies. However, in general, mild to moderate abdominal cramps are normal in early pregnancy due to the enlargement of the uterus and the consequent displacement of the intestines and pressure effects on the bladder.
