Question!!!

New mommy to be here! Just found out 10-18 (tuesday) I'm pregnant.

Wednesday night and last night, I was awakened to some strong period like cramping. I've been told by a couple people that it's normal. It's my uterus growing. It has ONLY happened at night. And one time both nights. I've also had some minor spotting but when I spoke to the nurse at the Ob office she said as of right now it's not a concern. Just to keep an eye on things.

But my question is....have any other women experienced the bad period like cramping in their first trimester?
