5 weeks and cramping

I'm 5 weeks pregnant and having cramps. I'm not bleeding or spotting. At times it literally feels like I'm about to start my period. Is this normal?

Your uterus is starting to adjust to baby.  It will happen at major mild stones well I think . Because I was 5 weeks and had them but it wasn't severe and then at 10 weeks I had them & now at 14 weeks & 4 days its cramping . So I think its the bby getting bigger .

As long as you not bleeding heavy with blood clots then its perfectly normal!

I read that it's common and is because your uterus is expanding to make room =)
