Is cramping in early pregnancy normal?

I am almost 6W pregnant and I have been having cramping really since I found out 2 weeks ago. My nurse says this is totally normal and I have looked on-line and it says cramping in 1st trimester is totally normal. I have had no spotting, but keep reading if you have cramping to call your Doctor. I also talked to my friend today who has had 2 kids and she said she never had cramps and she sounded concerned about that. They are not bad, but are very noticeable. Thanks!

Im 13 weeks tomorrow and i been having cramps and aches and pain since about 5 weeks. I also had bleeding at 6.6 weeks. I had my 12 week scan 3 days ago and baby was healthy :) cramping is compleatly normal in early pregnacy its just your body making room for the little sprog. My pains arnt so much crapming more aching now like really strong bloated pains. Hope thay helps x

Im 10 weeks 6 days and had cramping up until I was 7 weeks it wasn't painful enough to wanna take meds but noticeable it would get better if I loosened my pants or stretched out my legs or leaned back instead if forward I felt it in my stomach and in my back... almost as if it were cramps I got 3-4 days before my period so I kept thinking I was gonna start my doc said it was totally normal itsxjust your uterus stretching as long as your not bleeding you are ok
