Yes it is very normal to have cramps during pregnancy. your body is stretching and preparing to hold another human being. I had cramps off and on the whole 9 months with my last pregnancy. It looks like it is going in the same direction with this one. If you have bleeding along with the cramps, you need to go to the doctor ASAP. If you are worried about the cramps just ask your doctor and he/she can reassure you. good luck!

Some short-term achiness in the belly is normal during pregnancy. Severe cramping or pain never is. Don't hesitate to call your health care provider when you feel strong pain, especially if your pain doesn’t go away or if you also have cramps, bleeding from your vagina, fever, chills, lightheadedness, faintness, or discharge from your vagina.

There are different causes for mild achiness or pain in the abdomen during the different stages of pregnancy. For example:

Implantation. Many women have low, period-like pain or cramps for a day or so early in pregnancy around the time the embryo is embedding itself in the lining of the uterus.
Stretching of ligaments. In the second trimester, the muscles and ligaments that support your uterus stretch. (Ligaments are tough bands of tissue.) This can cause a dull ache across the belly or a sharp pain on one side. Many women feel this pain most severely when getting up from a bed, chair, or bathtub or when coughing.
False labor. In the second and third trimesters, you may feel contractions or an irregular tightening of your uterus muscles, often called Braxton-Hicks contractions. These are usually painless, but can sometimes be painful. They tend to increase in the weeks right before your due date and can be confused with early labor. How can you tell the difference? Braxton-Hicks contractions are irregular. Labor contractions are regular, coming every 5-10 minutes.
Cramping. In the last weeks of pregnancy, cramping may be a sign that labor is almost ready to begin. At the start of labor, you may have strong cramps that:
Come regularly every 5-10 minutes
Feel like a bad backache or menstrual cramps
Normal abdominal pain may also be caused by:

Gas pains and bloating caused by hormones that slow your digestion
The pressure of your growing uterus
Constipation
Heartburn
Abdominal Pain: What You Can Do
When you feel abdominal achiness, sit down, put your feet up, and relax. Resting comfortably should quickly relieve your symptoms. Other tips include:

Avoid quick changes in position, especially turning sharply at the waist.
When you do feel a pain, bend toward the pain to relieve it.
Walking, doing light housework, or changing position may help relieve gas pains
