Implantation Cramps

Implantation cramps refer to a supposed physical sensation that occurs when a fertilized egg burrows into the wall of the uterus during the process of implantation. While cramping may be possible in early pregnancy is it unlikely to be related to the physical implantation of an embryo.

It is important to note that there isn't any scientific data surrounding implantation cramps and that the process of implantation is difficult to study in human pregnancies.

Severe or persistent abdominal pain in early pregnancy could indicate an ectopic pregnancy or other complications and should be investigated promptly by medical providers.
