Tamara,

I too had ongoing abdominal cramps (mild) when I found out I was pregnant. It felt like AF. Occassionally, I feel more intense pain at certain area (pelvis/right or left abdominal pain). When I was about 8 weeks pregnant, I had red spotting. This is my first pregnancy so I was pregnancy nervous when I felt every twinge in my body. Now, everything is okay. My bub's growing and of course the abdominal cramps are still here but just not present all the time. You will find out there's lots of changes in your body in order to allow a pregnancy to go on. I guess that's the joy of pregnancy! Don't worry about your cramps, they are perfectly normal. Of course, some women tend to be luckier than us as they experience no symptoms at all!

Congrats on your pregnancy & I wish you a healthy pregnancy!
