Stomach cramps

[Babybumpdec]

Hiya I found out I was pregnant with our third child on Friday been to doctor and first midwife appointment today with bloods done etc to say the least this was a shocker as wasn't planned. I've been experiencing stomach cramps just wondered if this was normal thing to be happening xx

I got really strong cramps with all mine. Expanding uterus I think xxx

I have a lot of mild period-like cramps. Sometimes they are there and other days I feel nothing. I think its probably just normal pregnancy symptoms, but I hope everything is ok regardless .

I am 4w5d and have been cramping on and off since 3w6d, mostly in the afternoon/evening. It feels a bit like AF cramps but milder. I've seen it described on some medical sites as cramps caused by the uterus 'stretching', which as p/p said is just your uterus expanding. I don't have many symptoms at this stage so I'm happy to have the cramping
