Is cramping in early pregnancy normal?

Hello everyone.

I'm 4-5 weeks pregnant (won't no for sure untill i see the midwife on 20th march) For the past few days i've been having cramping that feels like i'm about to get a visit from AF. This would have been the time i was due on. Is this why i'm cramping? I've had no blood or spotting. Am i worrying for no reason? I had a chemical pregnancy not to long ago. So now i'm worrying about everything.

I am 6w5d and I've been cramping for the last week.  It goes across my lower abdomen and sometimes it goes up either side of my belly button.  Its kind of a constant, noticable, but not excrutiating, cramping feeling.  HTH =)

very normal, I had cramping for 2-3 weeks, it is your uterus stretching, it doubles in size in the first few weeks.

My fiance told me to take a pregnancy test, I told him no cause I was cramping and felt like I was going to start my period. Sure enough, I was pregnant.
