Dear Lauren, What did the Doctor say? I wanted to tell you when I was pregnant with my son, I cramped quite a bit also my lower back hurt, I believe he told me it was the ligaments of the uterus expanding, it perfectly normal, but I am glad you are going to the Doctor just to ease your mind, many women cramp in early pregnancy, I know I did alot. He will probably tell you to avoid hot baths and rest a little more, there is NOTHING wrong with the pregnancy, my OBY-GYN told me some women even cramp when they would expect the period, I cannot wait till you get the ultrasound pictures next week, you will just be so excited, they actually can take pictures of the baby in your womb and you will get a "doppler" of the heartbeat!! PLease write me back as soon as you have time and let me know how you are feeling, I sure going to the OB helped, I am sending prayers and angels, God bless, Debbie.
