Cramps in early pregnancy

Hi, I  was wondering if cramp like not painful more like twinges in lower stomach is normal? I don't remember if I had this with my previous pregnancies. I'm really early about 3 weeks 4 days I took 2 frer hpt both positive, plan on testing again tomorrow and use a digital Thursday. I'm excited and scared since I had my iud removed in
January, but I did have one period, and my periods never stopped during my mirena . Thanks in advanced

Thank you, yes I was in shocked becoming pregnant so quickly I'm so happy!
I dislike being worried, my best friend is few days ahead of me and says she feels the same and is worried I guess it's natural to feel worried.

Congratulations on the positive test! I know that's what you've been waiting for. As long as you don't have any bleeding, I would suspect that it's ligament pain, now that your uterus is preparing for a major growth spurt. The ligament stretching/pulling sensations were the only pregnancy symptoms I had until about 7-8 weeks.
How exciting!!!!!!!

Yes light cramping is normal but not with bleeding.  After birth pains will be worse too. It's amazing the things we forget with each pregnancy.
