Cramps???

Li

I’m 33 weeks and all last week I was getting minor cramps especially when I would change positions in bed or squat down to pick something up, sometimes I get them out of nowhere.

Before I was pregnant cramps were RARE for me while on/before my period 😢 so this is a little new to me.

I feel the cramps on the sides of my lower belly, is this normal or would these be considered “contractions”
