Painful cramps in early pregnancy

I’m currently 5w6d pregnant with my first child, so I don’t know what is normal. I’ve been experiencing really intense cramping on and off for the last week. It radiates from my uterus to lower back and happens for about 10 minutes about 3-4 times a day spaced out. I told my doctor about it and she said it was normal if i wasn’t bleeding, didn’t have abnormal discharge, and it isn’t on one side (ectopic). I was just wondering if any of you have experienced this? I’m so nervous. 🥺
