Cramps in the first trimester

*i will be calling my dr later today, just asking for opinions*

I am almost 6 weeks pregnant. I have bad period cramps, now I am cramping similarly, but they come and go and sometimes are pretty intense. They do not seem to be one sided and there is no bleeding. Also, I feel the need to stretch a lot more ( unsure if this is due to being tired ) and when I stretch I feel a pull from my lower stomach. Are these things normal? I am sooo anxious for my first appointment and so paranoid. 😞🤞🏻 thanks in advance for any advance for a first time mom!
