Just speaking from experience. You shouldn't have pregnanacy cramps?? When I was miscarring I had severe cramping but that was later on the preganancy. Do you have spotting or bleeding? If so, contact your doctor right away! Have you miised you scheduled period? Menstrual cramps feel similar to inital labor pains, but of course the labor pains become much more intense. Good luck to you. THE REAL ANSWER RIGHT HERE!!!!!! yes...you should have cramping during pregnancy because your uterus is making way for the baby. yeah you can have misscarrage cramps but c'mon, everyone knows about implantation cramps.....

∙ 9y agoFirstly, menstrual cramps are common but not a normal part of healthy menstruation so unless you have an underlying health problem such as Endometriosis there's no reason for you to suffer menstrual cramps. If you do get menstrual cramps then how long you get them for depends on your menstrual cycle and overall health, it could be from a few hours to up to two weeks.
