They are totally normal as long as there is no bleeding and they aren't extremely painful. I have had cramping since before I knew I was pregnant and I am now 32 weeks and they will not stop, they are normal and annoying lol
I did bring it up to my doctor when I was earlier along and she said it is just your body get ready for expanding and also the different hormones just like when you get them during your period.
But if they do get worse or you just don't feel comfortable I would say go to your doctor or call.
Good Luck and Congrats :)

I had cramping to! It's normal some girls don't get them and some do.. If you start to bleed then that's when you worry but your fine. If you still feel ify talk to your dr about ask if it's normal . It's normal for a mommy to be scared of everything specialy a ftm I'm so like tht to:) I'm 24 weeks and so excited.

I am 6 weeks and I also have what feels like menstrual cramping and no bleeding. It's normal. The cramping is the uterus stretching.

The cramping is normal. It's most likely your uterus expanding. Only time to panic is when you start to bleed.
