Early pregnancy and pain
October 3, 2017 | 20,00 EUR | answered by Ulrike Winkler
Hello, I am pregnant, currently in week 7, day 1, and have been experiencing lower abdominal pain since yesterday evening. It feels like a dull ache and at the same time, it feels like muscle soreness. When I cough, it seems to cramp up somehow. I am not experiencing any bleeding. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do? Should I go to the hospital? I read online that magnesium could help. How much can I take?
Good morning - Pulling in early pregnancy can be completely normal - many women experience this when implantation and the stretching of the uterine muscles occur. Magnesium can help with this - take 150 mg twice daily. If you are very worried, I would advise you to have an ultrasound examination done for reassurance. Best regards and all the best!
