I am 9+5 and haven't had any little cramps or pinching for a while is this normal? MMC in June this year and high risk of MC with this pregnancy awaiting further tests, but only other symptoms are sore boobs, tiredness, constipation and bad skin! Just thought at this stage my womb would be stretching more it's making me think I've lost the baby :(

Your embryo is about 3cm long, I don't think you'd feel that

I don’t remember having any cramping with my first pregnancy. Also had relatively few symptoms with both. I would try not to worry, lack of cramps in itself is not a bad thing.

Yep, normal. Cramping is super normal but it's rarely constant. Mine came and went. You'll likely have more cramping around about when the uterus moves up out the pelvis (around 12 weeks) but you also might not.

Cramping is caused by your womb stretching to accommodate baba and hormones. In warly pregnancy the uterus expands to account for the growing baby rather than the baby's growth causing it to stretch (so it gets bigger first, then baby grows, then it gets bigger again), so it's not constant.

Yes don’t worry, I didn’t really get any cramps.
