Not all women experience menstrual cramps - it's important to understand menstruation doesn't have to be painful. Menstrual cramps occur as a result of hormone-like chemicals that cause the uterus to contract to push out menstrual flow, when these hormone-like chemicals are too high they cause inflammation which results in the blood vessels in the uterus contracting. Essentially it's like a heart attack: blood vessels contract causing temporary loss of oxygen to the muscles.

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.

For many women, yes. Not everyone has cramps or pain at all during their period. Some have little to no discomfort or pain that they can register. If you normally do have cramps, and suddenyl you don't, it may not be bad. If you feel uncertain, talk to your doctor. They can reassure or help you if something is causing this sudden loss of cramps.
