Q: 10wks with lower back cramping/pain & mild abdominal cramps..

I am 10wks pregnant with my third child. My youngest child is 6 - so its been a while since I have been pregnant. I have been having some lower back pain/cramping & mild abdominal cramps within the last day (started last night while sleeping) - just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.. normal?

I called my Dr. & he didn't seem concerned. Asked if I was bleeding or spotting (which I am not). Told me to try to take it easy, if it doesn't go away in a few days or gets worse to call back and come in. My last Dr. appointment was last Tuesday - I had an ultrasound (vaginial) & she said baby's heartbeat was 173, and everything looked great. Cervix was tightly closed, no bleeding in or around the sac and baby was deep in my uterus.
I have had three miscarriages in the past however they have all been early 4-5 (never after getting a heartbeat). SO of course the worry will always be there. Any input would be appreciated, thanks!
