cramping

Elizabeth
Okay, just wanted to reach out to a community of women! First time ever being pregnant over here, and for the first time tonight I am having the most severe cramps I've ever had. Definitely worse than period cramps. It's like right below my belly button in my pelvic region. Is this normal. It has kept me awake all night, every time I fall asleep I'm seriously awoken by how much it hurts. 
I'm also 7 weeks today 😭
