Cramps in first trimester

Hi all. Im 35, first pregnancy and roughly 8 weeks. Having first scan next week and will confirm how many weeks exactly. For the past 3 weeks I've had what feels like period cramps in the mornings. Before I found out we were pregnant I thought it was period pains coming on. Anyone else experience this? Other than this I'm feeling fine - no morning sickness, just big swollen tender breasts!

That is totally normal. My LO Is 4 months and I cramped a lot in the first trimester. Very normal. Your body is changing, your uterus is stretching and moving. :) Congrats!

I am doing the same thing and I'm your age....I cramped like this with my 1st and only child 13 years ago so I'm guessing it's normal.
