About Kimberley, Pregnant Teenage Mother. Expertise I am 19 years old, and have a beautiful 7 month old daughter and I am currently 5 months pregnant with my second child. I can answer any questions about dealing with teenage pregnancy, telling your partner/mother/father etc. I can help you find out if you are pregnant, how to cope through-out pregnancy, the birth and raising your child. I can help with the different options of child birth. How to recover after birth and preparing for the arrival of the baby. I can also help you deal with abortion or thinking about abortion. I myself have had an abortion so I know how it feels. Dealing with an abortion isn't easy, so I will help in any way I possibly can. I can answer most questions on teen pregnancy, and I may not have the perfect answer every time but I will always try my best.

Question I'm about 5 weeks pregnant and I'm 17. I'm having cramps like period cramps. Is that normal?
Answer Hi Jeyma,
Firstly, congratulations on the pregnancy!
And yes around this stage of pregnancy cramping is normal. Also,you could continue to get a period for a little while. That is also normal. However, if you have any concerns you could contact your midwife and she would explain evertyhing.
If you don't have a midwife yet ask your doctor to contact a midwife and have then contact you back.
Hope everything goes well!
