Cramping in early pregnancy

Hi I’m about 4 weeks, 2 days pregnant with my first child. I’m getting a lot of cramping over the last few days and I just don’t know what’s normal?

It’s not as bad as period pain, more like the pain I get before actually starting a period. It is noticeable and happening a lot through the day. Can anyone let me know if this is to be expected?

Very normal. I'm 21 weeks and experienced the same :)

I actually had very intense cramping at the start and I even posted about it on here to ask for reassurance. It’s very normal and I’m now 31 weeks pregnant.

Yes it’s normal and on top of that you can get pains pretty much anyway, I’ve had them-
at the back,
at the front
one side
in the coochie
under the belly button
and all of that is normal, the type of pain can vary aswell, it can be cramps, full pain, movement activated discomfort, electrical type of pain. I had them all in week 5 aswell.
