pregnancy cramps

I am almost 5 weeks pregnant. I have been having cramps that feel like menstrual cramps. I don't have any spotting or anything but it feels like menstrual cramps.. should I be worried? I'm 18 and this is my first pregnancy.

Mentrual like cramps are normal in early pregnancy ,you have them because your uterus is stretching/expanding and making room for the baby.If it is not severe or you experience bleeding then nothing to worry abt it is normal.Have a healthy 9 months.

Thank you a005 that actually made me feel better. I haven't had any spotting, they are just really weird and uncomfortable. Nothing that I expected. The doctors told me that everything looked normal for now, so I just have to sit back and wait and just make sure to take care of myself. I read about implantation cramps and all that so that does help, Thank you!
