Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum.
Having the pricky feeling and mild cramps during pregnancy is considered to be normal if not associated with increasing intensity of cramps, bleeding etc. These occur due to your uterus adjusting to the growing fetus inside. The mild contractions are also known as Braxton Hicks contractions and are normal in pregnancy.
Take care.
