Cramps after period

Caroline

So ladies I was a week late had a period lighter than usual but had horrendous cramps prior to it! Period has been and passed but I’m still having cramps not as painful but still there...I’ve just moved areas and my birth certificate is at the passport office with my babies so need to wait for that to come back before I can sign up to the docs...any ideas why I’m having these cramps?? 😔
