Are Moderate Menstrual-like Cramps in Pregnancy Normal?

Answered on 24th Sept '24
You may be dealing with Braxton Hicks contractions. These are like practice contractions that your body does to prepare for labor. They can be likened to the sensation of menstrual cramps along with some discomfort in the lower back. The thick, gooey discharge might be an indication that your body is preparing itself for labor. While resting and drinking water is good for your health, if the cramps become more frequent or severe, you should inform your gynecologist.

is light bleeding normal after sex while 6 weeks pregnant
Female | 18
Vaginal bleeding after intercourse following pregnancy is a challenge that troubles many mothers. It might just be anything because of hormonal changes, or implantation bleeding. To avoid complications it is necessary to consult your gynecologist who by proper medical attendance can rule out any trouble.

Hello Ma'am, i would appreciate if you could give me you few minutes... My mom is in her pre-menopausal age she's 47 years old back in 2022 she had started bleeding heavily for list almost a month continuously we had done test so at that time here uterus lining was 10/11mm which is supposed to be normal She was taking pause-MF tablets and aftr that she had normal regular periods for 2 years Now since april 2024, she's having very heavy flow of blood she had her periods from 10-19 april then from 2-20 may then after this she again started her period from 28th may till 05 june. she's had very heavy flow during these 3 recent cycles We've done an ultrasound so in the ultrasound we got to know that the Endometrial has thickened to 22mm she's been suggested biopsy, so is it necessary to get the biospy done or can it be left like that keeping her age in mind? Your valuable suggestion will be very meaningful. Thank you.
Female | 47
These kinds of changes could be caused by hormonal imbalances or conditions such as endometrial hyperplasia. 22mm is concerning and needs further evaluation through biopsy to rule out anything serious like cancer. Because of her age as well as her overall health status, these tests must be done.

I did at home IUI on Friday and didn’t realise there was air in the syringe and blew some in my vagina and now I’m worried about an air embolism
Female | 25
Air embolism is the condition when air bubbles get into your blood vessels and can be quite dangerous. But, don't worry too much. In your case, that is highly unlikely. Symptoms would include chest pain, trouble breathing, and dizziness. You look okay for now, but if any symptoms appear, do not wait to get help.

My daughter has a pidonial cyst on her rectume the bone is big like a baseball ball yellow. Plus she’s 8 weeks pregnant. Can she get anesthesia surgery? She been taking 8 to 10 extra straight Tylenol. Please will this harm baby?
Female | 22
Your daughter has a pilonidal cyst. It's an unpleasant bump containing yellow fluid around her tailbone area. This cyst leads to pain, swelling, and redness. Too much Tylenol may harm the baby, so seeking medical advice promptly is crucial. Anesthesia during surgery can be safe for pregnant women. However, thoroughly discussing all options with a gynecologist ensures optimal safety for your daughter and baby.

Period khatm hone 4 din unsafe sex karne se pregnancy hoti hai
Female | 29
Having unprotected sex four days after the period can lead to pregnancy. A woman is during a period when she is least likely to get pregnant and it changes with the days. No intention of getting pregnant is not an excuse to not use the protection. Using a gynecologist is the right step to take, discuss the options that suit you.

Hello, Doctor! I am concerned whether I have my menstruation or implantation bleeding because it only lasts for 2 days to fill 2 pads in red color for the whole menstruation. I have done my blood HCG tests 16 days, 23 days and 30 days (21 days after bleeding) after intercourse and also urine tests which are all negative. I have also done my ultrasound 25 days after intercourse. Should I still need to be worried that I am pregnant? Is HCG still too early to detect in blood and urine 30 days after intercourse? Or is it too early for an ultrasound too?
Female | 40
Normally, implantation bleeding is lighter and shorter compared to the usual menstruation flow. A negative HCG test could mean that it’s not a case of pregnancy. The tests may have been carried out too soon for the existence of any pregnancy to be detected. 25 days may also be too soon for an ultrasound. So it's either way too early for these tests or the likelihood is that you are not pregnant. Keep an eye on the symptoms and repeat the test after a week or two for better results.

Incomplete abortion can lead to complications, including the formation of cysts, which may vary in size and require medical intervention. The impact on fertility depends on your specific condition. Consult with a gynecologist for personalized advice and guidance.

Female | 22
There are a lot of things that can cause this. Stress, weight changes, diet, and exercise all affect your cycle. Sometimes, hormonal imbalances can make your period come later than expected too. You should think about taking a home pregnancy test because you might be pregnant. If it doesn’t start within another week though, then see a gynecologist for help figuring out what’s going on.

Female | 23
You might have a disorder called menorrhagia, that is having heavy periods with clots. This problem may be due to hormonal imbalances or issues with the uterus. The heavy bleeding and clots you experienced may have caused some disturbances in your normal menstrual cycle. Consulting a doctor is essential for further evaluation and management. Treatments including hormonal therapy and procedures to deal with heavy bleeding can be the options that these doctors will mention to you.

Can we eat Pizza during pregnancy with 12 weeks.
Female | 27
Yes, you can eat pizza during pregnancy at 12 weeks still but the toppings should be either fresh vegetables or cooked products and the cheese should be pasteurized. It is better to have a gynecologist or a nutritionist recommend a healthy diet plan during pregnancy.

Hai doctor me Trisha Kumari my problem is 1 month period missing
Female | 19
If your month's period is skipped, several things could cause this. Stress, weight changes, or hormonal imbalances may all impact the menstrual cycle. Are you feeling more stressed out than usual recently? Or maybe have you gained or lost a lot of weight quickly? It is important to note however, that missing one period isn’t usually anything to worry about but if this becomes a common occurrence then speaking with a gynecologist.

Iam 20 years old and lam a female ,l had unprotected sex on the 29th of June.I want to ask if lam pregnant. Iam really confused ?
Female | 20
If you had unprotected sex on June 29th, you could be pregnant. Pregnant women will not discharge blood. As soon as the initial symptoms appear in your body, go ahead and take a home pregnancy test. It's a quick test and the results are easy to understand. If the test results are positive, visit a gynecologist for more direction and support.

Burning sensation thing I got that it may be because of UTI . I'm so worried please tell something Is I'm pregnant or not?
Female | 24
Burning sensation in vagina or clitoris can be a result of raw area in vagina due to forceful sex or UTI.as a piece of tissue with blood was seen it must be some injury. pregnancy can't occur so early. we have to wait for periods

Hi my period is delayed I’m super stressed I have a little blood but no flow
Female | 29
Sometimes, period delay happens due to stress. If you only see spotting and no full flow, it might be hormonal changes caused by stress. Other reasons could be lifestyle changes, extreme weight loss, or certain medicines. To get your period back on track, do relaxing activities like yoga or meditation.

If chymozip plus tablet is there any side effects for breastfeeding mothers and kids
Female | 26
Chymozip plus pills can produce detrimental effects on both mothers and their breastfed infants. For mothers, these effects include stomach pain, diarrhea, or allergies. However, it is found that the infant's tummy troubles or even skin rash are among the side effects. My strongest advice, however, is to consult your gynecologist before taking any medication while breastfeeding. They might suggest some other meds that are safer for you and your baby.

Jesa pain Periods me pet me hota he sem vesa hi mujhe pet me Periods ke bad hone lava hai
Female | 17
It's normal to have this issue because of certain things like hormonal disbalances or inflammation. In other words, it may feel like you are experiencing menstrual cramps again. Self-care is the priority - get enough sleep, eat healthily, and drink plenty of water. If the pain persist, visiting a gynecologist for further assistance is recommended.

I am female 17 107 kg weight.i had unprotected sex and he did not ejaculate what are the chances that I get pregnant
Female | 17
There is a risk of pregnancy when having unprotected sex, even without ejaculation. Sperm can be released beforehand, which can lead to conception. If you miss your menstrual cycle or experience symptoms like nausea, it could indicate pregnancy. In such cases, considering emergency contraceptive options would be a wise step.
