Brief Answer:
Try avoiding medication
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,
I would advise to avoid medication as far as possible, but if pain is severe Tab.BUSCOPAN can be taken for the cramps.
It's more effective for cramps than meftal spas and safer for pregnancy.
Keep yourself well hydrated and that itself can decrease the pain.
Also you could also consider Tab. PARACETAMOL 650mg SOS(BUT NOT MORE THAN 4 TABS A DAY) for pain relief if pain is bothersome.
Need to be careful regarding diet during early pregnancy, infections of gastrointestinal tract can cause diarrhoea and vomiting and than be quite distressing and can also harm the pregnancy.
Have adequate fluid intake and eat only fresh and well cooked food.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
