    This is your child, if you think something is wrong, don't wait for it to get better. You know your body, if it hurts and isn't like what you experienced in other pregnancies go see your doctor, or at lease give them a call - better safe than sorry!

    Cramping at 18 weeks is fairly common though, it's caused by stretching of the round ligament which holds your uterus in place. This is sometimes expressed as sharp pains on either side of the stomach which can become severe.
    But, like I said if it's really bad, call the doctor.
