Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX and welcome,
I am not sure about the question. It says that you were abused at 19 years of age and are now 34. I assume the cramps occurred when you were 19 years old.
If you had cramps there could be many reasons apart from miscarriage. If there was a period of absent periods followed by heavy bleeding during cramps and passage of fleshy lumps then there is a possibility of miscarriage. Otherwise there are a lot of reasons like infection of tubes, intestines, appendix, acidity and so on that can cause cramps.
Kindly clarify the question further if I have not clearly understood the issue.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
Feel free to ask any more questions that you may have.

I was date raped at 19 unknowns to me when I was 20 I got cramps In my tummy as If I was loosening something.I did not know anything about the rape until I started counselling for child abuse which occurred 4-15 years old.my birthday falls between
Brief Answer:
Difficult to pin point cause.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,
It is difficult to speculate what exactly happened at that time. However if you had cramping later than 4-5 months after rape you would have noticed a baby getting aborted. Also your tummy would have grown big before the abortion as a 20 weeks pregnancy causes a significant belly bulge that would have been noticed.
If you did not notice it, then it was most likely another reason for the cramps.
I do understand that you have been through rough times. Please try to forget all this and get over it. You have a beautiful life before you so please value it and enjoy it. Why must an incident that was not under your control spoil your life.
Please think about all this in a good perspective and I am sure you will get over it.
Take care.
