Just had my first positive after TTC for 8 months. Very excited, I haven't got my period yet, but I am having cramps, is this normal?

Yep can be normal in early pregnancy. Lots of changes going on in there.

Thanks, it's hard not let your mind wander, I think especially as I tested before my period was due! Similar but different feelings, but an incoming period is all I have to compare it too

Congratulations that's such exciting news, I hope you have a smooth Pregnancy. Weird cramps at the start are normal, can be quite anxiety inducing but I had them and am now 39 weeks waiting for little one to show up

Congratulations! Yes, I had period cramps on and off throughout the first trimester. Totally normal 🙂

Cramps are very normal throughout pregnancy.

@Marmite1992 congratulations on your little one! Not long to go now for you ❤️. How long did your cramps last if you don't mind me asking, like a few days or weeks

Thank you :)
Oh I'm not 100% sure, I know it was on and off probably for a week or two but I know people who has them last longer
