Period like cramps at 17 weeks

Alanna
Hey ladies, so I am 17 weeks pregnant and it's a girl!!!! So excited!! I have a 2 yr son but with him i was so sick and miserable with my entire pregnancy. This ho around I'm not sick and it's wonderful but I'm am very crampy! They are definitely not contractions or Braxton hicks but they almost feel like on my period type cramps but not as painful! I'm not spotting and there is no unusual discharge just cramps! I don't know if this is normal I never experienced it with my son I was just sick with him!!! Please let me know???
