I had these dull cramps early and kept panicking. Did others feel the same and it was still okay? It really worried me at the time.

Light cramps are usually normal, but heavy cramps with bleeding should be checked by your doctor quickly. Dont just sit and wait if it feels strong na.

Yes mild cramping is common early as things settle in the uterus. It feels just like period pain for many. But if it gets sharp or there is bleeding, ring your gynac.
