It's true that some cramping is normal in the 1T due to ligaments and muscles stretching.

UGH!! I hate it when dr's offices behave this way. If you are having that level of pain, esp. if you think it might be a problem... go to the ER!! Skip the stingy doctors!!

Hope all is fine!!

Oh my, that is so insensitive and irritating on their part! I'd definitely fudge it up a bit. If you've got really good insurance, go to the ER and tell them your pain level is like a 9 or something. That'll usually get you an u/s. Let us know how it goes, sweetie. (((((((HUGS))))))))

Just wanted to add my vote with the others to call back and LIE, LIE, LIE! Some cramping is normal, and I actually had cramping I felt was pretty severe with my pregnancy and all was fine (my doc thought the reason was dehydration though, are your drinking enough?). My doctor is great and I did get to come in for an ultrasound, just to ease my mind. It makes me so angry that doctors are insensitive to this. I hope you get the reassurance you need and that the cramping goes away quickly.

I am sorry to hear you are not getting reassurance from your doc. That sucks:(

I cramped until 14 weeks with DS and its normal but not if you are in so much pain. I would be worried about an ectopic pg or even appendicitis.

I agree with previous posts, a little lie never hurt:)

BTW, I went to the ER with one of my m/cs and they wouldn't give me an u/s b/c I already had one so they knew I wasn't ectopic. So if they ask if you have had an u/s in the ER, say no:)
