Pregnancy cramps!....is it normal?

Question

I just found out about 3 days ago that I am indeed pregnant!
Are cramp-like symptoms normal?
​I'm 3 weeks (according to calculations) and 1-2 weeks according to the Clear Blue Digital test (inwhich the instructions/directions sheet say I would be about 3wks from dr.'s calculations)
​My cramps have been coming and going for about 24 hours now. They're less severe than period cramps and they only last a couple of seconds. I read that women who get these cramps have bleeding or spotting, which I haven't. 
​However, from time to time the cramps are more uncomfortable than they are painful (kind of an annoying achey feeling). Anyway, they're not all that painful but they are worrying me. Is this normal?

Answer

Thanks so much everybody!!
​Everyone is so reassuring!
​I had an appointment today and I got my pregnancy confirmed by my doctor! She also told me that the cramping was normal. She also told me if it gets worse or I start to bleed or spot, come back in and see her.
​I'm a little nervous because this is my first pregnancy... I'm not really sure what to expect or what to really do. I wish I had a step by step book or something! (Lol)

Answer

It's normal to have some cramping. I've been told it's your uterus hard at work.
​   I found out at 3 weeks and I had cramps thinking I might be getting ready to start my period. It scared me too. It was mainly when I was laying down. I stopped having them around 5 weeks.  ✨wish u a happy healthy 9 months✨ ?

Answer

I had cramping till the day I turned 6 weeks pregnant! It would normally wake me up at about 2 am! But I had it some throughout the day too. Completely normal :) just watch for bleeding but just know it's the baby growing. I actually miss the cramping now because I can't feel baby progressing lol.

Answer

Perfectly normal as long as there is no bleeding and they aren't severe. I am still having them at 6w3d.
