How much cramping is normal?

I'm 6w1d and so far I've been experiencing dull AF like cramping for pretty much my entire pregnancy. I get them every single day for most of the day. They're not terrible, but they're definitely noticeable. I remember being somewhat crampy when I was pregnant with DS, but I don't recall it being this much or for this long.

I cramped for the entire first trimester. OB said it was completely normal.

How much cramping is normal?

Pretty sure I was mildly crampy the first few weeks. Noticeable but not terribly painful.

How much cramping is normal?

With DD and this pregnancy I cramped from before my BFP until about 8 weeks. After 8 weeks it sort of became less frequent. It's very normal.

I was constantly crampy from pretty much implantation till like week 7. I didn't experience that for my first two pregnancies.

Very normal! Just make sure you stay very hydrated also. Lots of water.

This! I had a lot of dull cramping in the first few weeks but drinking water almost helped immediately.

Totally normal! As long as you aren't also bleeding, it's just your uterus expanding and that little baby burrowing in to get comfy for a 9 month stay!

Drink lots of water and take it easy when you're cramping. Congrats!

Throughout my entire pregnancy I would get cramping and always got nervous because of it. I asked my doctor every visit if it was normal and she said as long as there is no bleeding it's perfectly normal. If there is cramping and bleeding she told me to call right away.

I cramped a little bit every day in the first trimester. It felt like you described. Dull versions of period cramps. I would say only get alarmed if it's crippling.
