Early Pregnancy Symptoms - Missed Period

For the majority of women a missed period is often the first and most obvious indication that they are pregnant.

During the first few weeks of pregnancy you may experience some mild cramping and have a sensation that your period will arrive at any moment.

Many women report that this cramping is also accompanied by back pain.

For most mothers-to be this cramping is an entirely normal part of early pregnancy. However, any cramping and/ or bleeding, even if it is light, should be reported to your doctor as there may be other reasons for it.
