I had a lot of cramping and discomfort throughout my pregnancy, and while I would call my friends to ask, when I did get concerned - I called my Doc. My OB said that's why he gets paid...to answer my questions. So, if you do get really concerned about it, call. Trust me - you'll find out that they would rather deal with the OB questions and visits because they are MUCH easier than anything they deal with.
Besides, as your pregnancy continues, you'll have more and more questions and be a lot more willing to call. I called my OB last Friday night three times between midnight and 4AM...we actually ended up having a nice chat once! When I saw him later in the week, I said I was so sorry to have had to bothered him in the middle of the night...he said he was so used to it now that he can go right back to sleep. He also told me that any doctor who complains about phone calls needs to find another profession...it's part of the gig...big questions and small...they take them all!!
So, from my experience, I wouldn't worry about the cramps - remember, your body is EXPANDING to make room for a baby...AND...make an organ to support the life of that baby...so, there is a tremendous amount of stuff going on in your abdomen right now...and it's not always going to be comfortable. But all well worth it!!!
Glad to hear you're well after the weekend - take good care of yourself!!
