Hi KT
Make sure you are getting enough fluids into your system. You don't want to get dehydrated.
What you may be experiencing could very well be what is called morning sickness. Especially if there is nausea associated with your other symptoms. Here is a link to some good information about morning sickness.

If you experience cramping along with spotting, heavy bleeding, fever, chills, vaginal discharge, tenderness, and pain, or if the cramps don't subside after several minutes of rest, call your doctor. Here are some of the ailments that cause cramps:
• What you might experience: Cramping accompanied by pain and tenderness, usually starting on one side then spreading across the abdomen.
• What causes it: The fertilised egg has been implanted outside the uterus, either in the fallopian tubes, an ovary, abdominal cavity, or the cervix

• When it might occur: The first trimester
• What to do: Call your doctor immediately. Ectopic pregnancy can be a life-threatening situation if untreated.
• What you might experience: Cramps accompanied by bleeding and pain in the centre of the lower abdomen during the first three months of pregnancy.
• What causes it: In the first trimester, most losses occur because the fetus wasn't developing properly. Rarely do they result from anything the mother did or failed to do.
• When it might occur: From the first to the 12th week of pregnancy.
• What to do: Call your doctor, lie or sit down with your feet up, and, as much as possible, relax. If your cramping is accompanied by heavy bleeding, call 999 or go to the nearest casualty department. Upon examination, a doctor can determine if a miscarriage has occurred, is in progress, or is only threatening.
