for those of you who had miscarriages that began with cramping...

I have a question. Last time I was pregnant I had period like cramps from about week 5.5 through the miscarriage at week 7. It really only got severe the night before I miscarried. I know cramping is normal at this time, but I'm 5.5 weeks again and have period like cramping again now. I just want to hear some different perspectives about how long y'all had cramping for before you actually miscarried and if you noticed a marked difference in severity before you miscarried. I just have no idea if the cramping last time was normal or if the whole week and a half was part of the miscarriage. Does that make sense? I feel much better about this pregnancy working out, just every little twinge has my anxiety spiking.
