Cramping

I am 5 weeks pregnant and am still getting some cramping that feels like when you get your period.  It last maybe a couple minutes and goes away, no bleeding but it's concerning me.  Does anyone know if this is normal?  1st time mommy here!

I still get cramps too and am on week 7 now, they never last longer than s couple minutes, still no spotting, I have learned that when I have to go to the bathroom now i can get cramps, which is kind of weird lol.  I see the nurse for the first time next Monday the 27th.  I will be happy to be able to ask some questions at that time :)

I am about 6 weeks and still cramping. It feels worse than AF pains but I never really had menstruation cramps previously so maybe that's why it seems a bit severe to me.

Oh my. Well you and your husband are a family. Your mother has no day so in your marriage or when it comes to your children. Me personally, I'd tell her to either back off or risk not being your family life.

I had a similar experience with my first pregnancy. This kept happened on and off for the first 2 months. Perfectly normal. Your uterus is stretching to make room for baby.

This si normal, the cramps are because your uterus is growing... As long as you do not have bleeding you are going to be fine!

I'm also well into 5 weeks now and getting the same thing. My sister has told me this is normal, especially as they don't last as long.
I'm at high risk of ectopic, and I was getting lots of pain in my right hip last night, which worried me.
My cramps are all above my public region though, where as period cramps for me tend to be lower down.
