Is it normal to have stomach cramps?

My back and pelvic pain are causing me to be unable to walk or sit properly. 16 weeks now and tummy not so big yet. Today stomach also starts to feel crampy, like period pain. Is there anything to be worried about?

It’s normal! It’s just your uterus expanding and making space for your growing baby. If there is bleeding, please go to your gynae immediately. Otherwise, it’s fine! It’s also normal for your tummy to be small now. My baby bump is only obvious when I’m 7 months pregnant! Different body, different bump 😊 back and pelvic pain will worsen when you go onto trimester 3.
