Painful cramping 4 weeks, 4 days

Hi Ladies, so happy to be joining this group :-) I’m 4 weeks, 4 days with my first and it’s all new to me. Just a quick one, I’ve been experiencing bad period type pains, in the small of my back and my tummy. No bleeding or spotting, just pains. It happens for about 6-10 mins at a time, a 3/4 times a day. Has anyone else experienced this? I’m off to the doctors tomorrow for my first visit and to book scans. Sometimes the pains wake me up in the night. Thanks!
