Not necissarily. Menstrual cramps are common, with around 80% of women experiencing menstrual cramps at some point in their lives, however menstrual cramps are not a normal part of healthy menstruation so not everyone gets them (and if you do there are ways to prevent them). Menstrual cramps can be more common in your pre-teens and teens due to hormonal imbalance, so you may get menstrual cramps during your first period...but you may not.
