Cramping in early pregnancy?

Before i even found out i was pregnant I had cramping and i thought i was getting my period. Then, 2 weeks ago, a doctor confirmed i was pregnant. I've still been cramping off and on with no bleeding I'm 8 weeks pregnant today! is this normal? I'm just really worried because it's my first and my husband and I were TTC for 2 years!!

    Very normal..... I'm 16wks and i still cramp and ache a little. Not as bad as the beginning but it's still there. Some spotting is also normal.... I had spotting then heavy bleeding then spotting again at 9wks but the baby was fine...I was told there was jus a little blood between the placenta and uterus and it lasted for abt a week and a half. Try not to worry although I know every twinge and cramp can make a preggers lady panic ( I'm one of those panickers lol) jus try to relax and enjoy this time w/ your husband. But if you see any bleeding light or dark go straight to the ER. Skip the call to the dr and just go! But i'm sure you know that :)

    Yes, this is especially common for your first pregnancy because your uterus is expanding - something it's never done before. I totally remember this, specifically with my first child it felt just like period cramps.

    Don't worry and try to enjoy your pregnancy- Congrats!!

    Very normal hon.

    It's your uterus expanding! It's very uncomfortable and can be painful. I had it from 8-12 weeks...

    Just as long as you don't have any bleeding, you will be fine :)

    CONGRATS ON YOUR PREGNANCY!
