Question: Im pregnant for 5weeks and I observe that usually have this severe cramps that last for about 10 to 15minutes which happens at  nightwhat can be the cause of this 
Answer: Hello 

Good evening 

I want to assume that this is your first pregnancy 
Having severe cramps at night may not be a good sign 

However it will be good to know if there are any assoicated issues like bleeding from your priavte part or a fever  or painful urination 

Having a urinary tract infection can cause that for you and if not addressed could lead to a miscarrige 

It will also be nice to note that you should also take a lot of water as dehydration can also give you this picture 

I advise you go to a hospital and see a doctor for proper evaluation including tests like urinalysis and others to ascertain that there is no infection going on 

You may also need a scan as women who have fibroids in pregnancy can experience pains like this 

I hope this helps 

Cheers
