18 weeks pregnant - daily mild cramping normal?

Hi, as mentioned above. Is this normal?
It tends to last 1 minute or less but must come on 5-6 times a day and it's scaring me. I did have bad cramping when I was about 6 weeks but this is a lot milder than that. Not having any bleeding etc. Could this be round ligament pain? Tends to be lower middle abdominal area.

I'm not really sure but didn’t want to read and run. Could it be Brixton hicks? I’d probably phone triage just to ask for their advice and reassurance xx

I'm 16 weeks and keep getting period like cramps but I've been getting this on and off since the beginning and did with my last pregnancies, is that what it feels like? I think it's just everything stretching

I've also had vagina like ache pain too! I've messaged midwife and says it's all normal.

@Amyp1234 I’m 12 weeks pregnant and experiencing this today. Cramping & a dull ache/pressure in my vagina. So worried as it’s my 12 week scan tomorrow!

@99SR I had it on and off for a few week. Put it down to pressure of growing baby. Currently 34 weeks and everything is fine. Let me know how you get on tomorrow.
