I have IBS and Acid Reflux. During the first few weeks of my pregnancy, I had very irregular bowels and a lot of cramping. I too thought something was wrong with my pregnancy. Everything turned out to be just fine. I also had a miscarriage 5 years ago, so I understand your fear. Do not worry so much about it as you may worsen everything. Visit your doctor and have them give you an ultrasound to make sure your pregnancy is in the right place. With ectopic pregnancies by the way, I don't know how far along you are, but you would get major cramping and you would definitely know that it is not your bowels. Wish you the best of luck, stay positive and stop worrying. See your doctor ASAP! Hi. I have IBS and Acid Reflux.

None of us here are qualified to say really. Please make a doctor appointment asap. No amount of cramping during pregnancy is good. I had severe cramping at 15 weeks pregnant, and took myself to the ER. They never did find out what was wrong, but I never had another episode like that. Me and baby are just fine. Good luck to you.

I had some cramping, and even some bleeding when I was pregnant with my daughter. With you history I would definately recommend speaking with your doctor about your symptoms as soon as possible, but at the same time I would try to stay as relaxed about the situation as you can. There is no reason to stress before you know what is going on. Especially because stress can cause more problems. Best of luck!

Depending on how far along you are, you could also be experiencing a few different things. You may be dealing with implantation; if this would be a normal time for your period, it could just be the influx of hormones, you may have gastritis. Also, if you are having any bleeding, remember that red blood signifies new blood and you MUST contact your ob/gyn immediately. If it is brown, then that could be implantation. Either way, if you are concerned, I would contact your ob/gyn with your concerns and get in as soon as possible. If you are already diagnosed with IBS, then that could be the cause of your cramping.
