Brief Answer:
There is no need for concern.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns.

It is normal to have mild cramps in early pregnancy.
As the embryo gets implanted in the uterine wall, the uterine muscle contracts. This is experienced as cramps. This is normal. Do not worry about it.

I hope this is helpful.

Best wishes,
Dr Rama
