I'm getting lots of cramps

Hi, 33years old and 4weeks and 4 days pregnant. this is my first pregnancy and I'm not sure what's normal and what's not. I found out I was pregnant after I had been cramping for a few days when period was due but nothing came. That was 4 days ago and I'm still having cramps a lot during the day. they sometimes feel like period pains, and other times it's more of a deep aching feeling in my uterus.
Please is this normal for early pregnancy?

I'm 29 and 6.3 weeks with my first baby. I have had cramps on and off. Sometimes they come on when I'm gassy, hungry, or feel thirsty. As someone said before, they're a normal symptom as long as they're not too severe or are accompanied with bleeding. Good luck! :)

Cramping is very normal in early pregnancy! Just as long as there is no spotting or bleeding your fine! Your body is streaching and making room for the baby to grow and that can be painful! Make sure your drinking lots and lots of water it will really help!
