AnswerHello, selina,
I think it is best if you go to the doctor and ask these questions. Since you are experiencing cramps, it's possible that you will have a miscarriage. The doctor should test your hormone levels. It doesn't sound like you should necessarily worry about this. Miscarriages happen often, and most of the time, there is no serious harm done. Some children simply live longer than others, and vice versa.
Are you concerned about a negative impact pregnancy can have on your life? Some women think that pregnancy will end life as they know it (it will make the future very uncertain). There are organizations in UK that can help you with this if this is the situation. You can find one near you by going to this web site:

It's also a good place to get a recommendation for a doctor who will treat you right.
If you encounter a doctor who tells you that he must intervene, don't just let him do what he wants. Many times, these situations resolve themselves, and you'd be better off both medically and emotionally if you give this a chance. I know this from personal experience. Try to find a doctor who is reluctant to intervene.
Please let me know what happens, and take care.
