Cramping throughout your entire pregnancy
is normal. You will stretch and pull and
this will cause cramping.

its most likely ligament streatching which
can feel like cramps
however if you start to bleed please go to
the ER asap!

I had cramping up until about 23 weeks or
so. My doc said it was very normal. But
not intense cramping. And make sure
there's no vaginal bleeding...if so got to
the emergency department!

There is no need to tell people to jump to
ER at every little thing. Cramps are
normal and she is not bleeding so there is
no need to clog up the hospitals for
unecessary visits.

They aren't telling her to go to the ER
just because of cramps. They only let her
know that if she ends up bleeding she
should go, which is good solid advice.

i had some cramping at that point too.
Still do every so often. My belly is
growing like crazy, so I figure it's just
the growing muscles.
As long as you aren't in excruciating
pain, or bleeding it's normal.  I found that a
warm bath (not hot) or just plain laying
down helps.

Would using a heating pad be good advice
for that, or would that much direct heat
to the belly be bad for the baby?

Heating pads are fine. I wouldn;t use one
for a very long period of time but it's ok
it isn't hotter than a hot bath .

I've heard heating pads are only okay when
used on the back during pregnancy not the
belly. But I could be wrong.
