Hi,
No. I don't think that this condition of yours may be related to pregnancy. I would suggest you start having a course of Norethisterone tablets 5mg for 10 days and have antispasmodic Drotaverine for cramping pain for 5 days. I would suggest a thyroid profile test done as hormonal irregularities can lead to these symptoms.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
