Cramping and nerves?

[LolaSneddon]

Hi everyone,

I’m a first time mama, and I’m 6 weeks 1 day pregnant today!

My cycle is between 40–45 days long, yeah I know, not normal... anyway... For the first time today I’m getting what feels like period cramps. (My period would be due tomorrow/Sunday and I’m really nervous!)
Is cramping normal when you would usually get your period if you weren’t pregnant? Any help would be appreciated as I’m terrified I’ll do something wrong and damage the whole situation!!

Hellpp!

Hey,

I’m a second timer and I got cramps with my first and again now with my second. It’s totally normal, cramps shouldn’t be as painful as period cramps are. As long as you’re not bleeding bright red and you have no clots you should be fine! X
