Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Some amount of pain in the lower abdomen is normal during pregnancy.
If the cramps are very severe and continuous, yes, you should see your doctor, particularly if you have spotting or bleeding.
All the best.

Yes, you may do that.
Have you had an ultrasound scan done ?
If that is normal, you may walk 1 - 2 km daily, at a pace that suits you.
If you feel breathless or have pain / cramps after walking, please regulate the pace / distance accordingly.
