Early pregnancy cramps should I be worried?

Hey everyone! I am 6 weeks pregnant and I am just a little worried , I keep having pulling and cramps in my belly. It’s is constant not as harsh period cramps (no bleeding) and I’m just a little worried. I had my daughter 9 years ago and if I’m honest I can’t remember if it was this much niggling pains, also in my lower back it hurts so much . I am quite small framed and I am not sure if it’s my belly stretching im just a bit worried. Is this normal?

Nooo I had this mine felt more like period pain than you and others seem to say (I couldn’t feel pulling it honestly was just mild period cramps)

seems pretty normal xx

Those pains are actually a very reassuring symptom of a healthy pregnancy. Congratulations

Congratulations!! I had cramping all through both my pregnancies and the occasional light bleed, while worrying everything was absolutely fine , the bigger I got they increased,
