Answer

Hello,
During the first few weeks of pregnancy, more than 80% of pregnant women experience mild lower abdominal pain. However, if you are nearly 3 months pregnant and experiencing severe cramping near the uterus along with other symptoms such as nausea and bleeding, you should be cautious as these can be signs of potential dangers in the early weeks of pregnancy, such as miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.
To get an accurate diagnosis, you should visit a reputable medical facility or one of the Vinmec Health System hospitals nationwide for a thorough examination to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
