Cramping??

Question

Hi, I know that cramping is normal in the first trimester, but I want to know what's ok & what to worry about. 
Is it always supposed to be light? Does it feel like period cramping? I know that horrible cramping can mean ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage, but what constitutes "horrible" cramping??

Answer

With my first pregnancy I thought the cramping was normal. My periods are normally quite heavy so didn’t think much of the cramping at first. The spotting turned to bleeding and the cramps became stabbing pains that would come and go quite painfully with a constant full ache. 
I am currently pregnant again and have had some slight cramping but nothing for longer than a few minutes or painful, I have also been confirmed for an inter uterine pregnancy so all is well this time round!

Answer

I would start getting concerned if the cramps and bleeding are worse than your normal period
