I'm 6 weeks and 4 days today and I've had cramps since my missed period is due. I worry every time I go to the toilet that I'm going to find blood on the tissue, but have been told loads that cramps and aches are normal and means that your body is stretching to make room for the growing baby. Here in uk we don't have first scan till 12 weeks pregnant and I'm going to be worried until I see that screen and its little heart beating away

I'm five weeks today too! No cramping but I've heard that's a normal symptom.

It's completely normal to get cramps, I've had them almost every day. As long as they aren't too strong and there's no blood or spotting

This is my first pregnancy and I'm actually really excited to have cramps, I got pregnant so quickly that I'm just hoping I don't miss carriage.

It's completely normal guys. That would be round ligament pain also known as stretching or growing pains. It just means your little thing is growing and your body is growing with it. The only time to be worried is if it's accompanied with blood or is a constant pain.
