Okay i am 4 weeks pregnant. every so often i get really bad cramps in my lower stomach. sometimes they aren't as bad as other times. Also i haven't made a bowel movement in almost two weeks. i try but it hurts and feel like my stomach will pop. Ive tried eating oatmeal and drinking OJ and apple juice. Also, constipation is a normal thing for me, but could this be causing these cramps, and should i go to the ER? please help!!

Along with pregnancy often comes bad constipation. It's normal, but if you haven't made a bowel movement in almost two weeks, that's a problem. I would suggest calling your doctor and asking him/her about fiber laxatives (NOT EX-LAX!). Fiber laxatives help break down your stool making it easier to digest it. It doesn't give you instant diarrhea. The cramping can be due to your horrible constipation. Not to sound obscene, but I had them really bad last night. I literally though I had an eptopic pregnancy. It was horrifying, but I took one fiber laxative and it relieved most of my issue. Hope this helps!

Good luck to you!

I cramped at 5 wks of pg. More concerning is the bm. Your body will fill with toxins and your stomach will extend. My mother almost died years ago from not being able to have a movement. Go to the ER now, or an Urgent Care clinic. Let me know what happens.
