The period of time from confirmation of implantation of a fertilized egg within the uterus until the fetus has entirely left the uterus (ie, has been delivered). Implantation is confirmed through a presumptive sign of pregnancy such as missed menses or a positive pregnancy test [45 CFR 46.203(b)]. This "confirmation" may be in error, but, for research purposes, investigators would presume that a living fetus was present until evidence to the contrary was clear. ...

Are You Worried About Early Symptom Of Pregnancy – Cramping?
By Apurva
Are you worried about the early symptom of – cramping? Cramping is perfectly normal. Through this, your body is telling you that the embryo has been successfully implanted in the lining of your uterus.
Why Cramping Occurs?
Cramping, an early symptom of occurs as your uterus enlarges to make room for newly implanted embryo. This embryo puts pressure over the walls of your uterus producing cramps. Cramping is also referred to as implantation bleeding. It happens when the egg, which is fertilized, attaches to the uterus lining and the latter inflates. These cramps are akin to the one that you get before your period.
You may also notice spots of blood in your underwear. This happens after 10-14 days of fertilization. Moreover, you will find that the blood released in spotting is light in color and lasts for one or two days only. It is different from menstrual blood, which is darker and lasts for a few days.
Cramping Is Normal
This early symptom is absolutely normal and you need not worry about it. It is an indication that your body is getting ready for the nine months of pregnancy. However, cramping should not include fever or excess bleeding. If it does, then call your doctor.
It is quite common to mistake cramping, with the one that you get before menstruation. Cramping that occurs due to fertilization starts about 8-12 days of conception. So, if you cannot distinguish, then look out for other symptoms or take a test.
When To Call Your Doctor?
Although, cramping is normal, there are times when it may require medical help. For instance, if you got a record of miscarriages, then you should be cautious. It’s good to consult your doctor and get a blood test done to rule out any complications.
One of the biggest mistakes that you can make is ignore the signs of excess bleeding, or overlook the dark color of blood. This shows an abnormality and calls for medical help. The first step that you should take during this time is to rush to your doctor and NOT wait for more “abnormal” symptoms to appear.
You should know this:
The early symptom of – cramping is normal ONLY when you find light-colored blood SPOTS in your underwear and NOT a flow of blood. In addition to this, your body temperature should not be high. There should not be excess pain too. Besides this, don’t try to treat your excess pain by yourself with the help of painkillers. Go to your doctor and let him or her prescribe the treatment.
Cramping is NOT supposed to make you wither in pain or lie down in fever or use pads to absorb the blood flow. It’s just a little pain, with a very little spotting, and a little discomfort. If there’s anything more than this, it’s time to ring up your doctor.
