    sometimes the stretching of the uterus can really mimick period style cramping (basically cause it's all gotta do with jiggling the uterus). i would hazard that this is what is going on. of course, if you feel that the pain is getting too intense it is worth checking with your care-provider. but if it is the period cramping that i think you are experiencing it can (and usually is) totally normal as the uterus is doing some MEGA growing in those first weeks and it likes to complain a bit lol.

    big hope that it settles soon for you

    I always get period pain in early pregnancy - even in my third where you'd think my uterus might be used to the stretching. Hope the doc was able to settle your nerves about it

    I had awful awful stretching pains up until about 10 weeks. As long as you have no bleeding id say its completely normal. Just try and relax and rest as much as you can. I had horrible morning sickness and fatigue so i was in bed for most of the first trimester.
