totally normal...I'm 12 weeks and been having them off/on since before I found out I was even pregnant.  I thought I was totally getting my period this month but nope!  :-). They scared me at first too but it's totally normal.  Good luck!

More than likely just ligaments and the uterus stretching and growing. (This is the explanation from my doc) It's totally normal :)

I've had light cramping since week 5 and its totally normal. One of my girlfriends told me to imagine it like the baby is in there, moving around furniture and hanging curtains. Just settling in for the next 9+ months.!

Im 25 weeks and still occasionally get cramps that come and go. My dr said its just your body adjusting and growing to the baby. Only worry if they are painful, dont go away, or you start bleeding. I get them and I try to rest and they go away when I do

I have horrible leg cramping all the time. I'm 32 weeks. You can avoid it by changing positions all the time.
