Is cramping a common pregnancy symptom? Since my BFP day I've been having cramps. Feel kind of like AF but not nearly as intense. These are normal right?

Totally normal! Your uterus has alot of stretching to do and it's going to be a little uncomfy!  Mine were intense enough to cause diarrhea early on so watch out!

Yeah a bit of cramping/stretching feeling is totally normal. So long as there's no red blood and cramping... you're cool

Oh yes, I had lots of cramping, just like AF was coming. I even had bleeding along with that, and I am now 15 weeks!

Yep, I had them. They were mainly at night when I was relaxed, and went away for the most part by around 8 weeks, except for the occasional bout of cramps. I remember feeling them all on my left side, and it turned out baby boy had implanted in my left horn... pretty neat.

Very normal! It was my first sign before getting my BFP. I think I had cramping for about 2 weeks after getting it.

I still have cramping from time to time. Only last a few seconds. I have anything from light cramps to pretty intense ones. The frequency has decreased though. I was getting them 3-4 times a day, now its more like one a day or not at all.

Haha! This already happened to me. It was awful since I have toilet anxiety and can only go #2 at home. I was at the book store with hubby and having lots of cramps, then they moved to my back and OH NO.... I had to a use a public bathroom. I have a feeling pregnancy is going to get rid of a lot of my inhibitions.
Thanks ladies!!!

oh hun while your laying there fully naked in front of 10 interns while pushing the baby out - it really will be the last thing on your mind 
Cramping is normal, and my rib cage expanded ALOT when I first got pregnant with Morgan.
