Approximately six weeks and purely exhausted. Is this normal?

So I found out Friday that I was pregnant and confirmed Sunday with a transvaginal ultrasound. Is it normal to feel completely exhausted? I've had a lot of cramping at random times but I feel like I haven't slept. I don't know if my age has anything to do with it, as I'm 30 and this is my first pregnancy.

Feeling exhausted is very normal. You will likely feel this way for most of the first trimester.

Yes, it's totally normal.  With a few of my pregnancies, I struggled to do anything but sleep and move to the couch to sleep more.  I was young with my first, and I remember going to bed at like 4pm- just to wake up still exhausted the next day.  
Some cramping is normal too- if it gets worse or is accompanied by bleeding, go ahead and call the doctor to have it checked out.

Congratulations!
