beckie90, you are right, this is completely normal! I'm 24 weeks and still get the odd cramp every now and then. I had them pretty much non stop until about 14 weeks!

'As your pregnancy progresses, your body needs to find space for your developing baby. Stomach cramps are often just a side effect of your muscles and ligaments stretching to make room. The extra weight that carrying a baby places on your body can also cause cramping'. Found this on a website. Don't worry, it's perfectly normal!

Perhaps make an appt with your dr if your concerned that this is not normal for you! Most of the time, they're what I posted previously but you know your own body and getting it checked out by a professional will put your mind at rest!
