Cramping can be totally normal. You should assume it's fine unless it's worse than your typical period cramps and/or is accompanied by spotting/bleeding.
I've had an early MC (6w4d) and 3 chemical pregnancies so I totally get how terrifying it is to get a positive pregnancy test after a loss. Try to keep in mind though that your chances of having a perfectly normal, healthy pregnancy that results in a take-home baby are the same after 1 loss as they are for ladies who haven't been through loss. So the odds are absolutely in your favor that this is your take-home baby.
Unfortunately symptoms don't really correlate well with loss. Some ladies have no symptoms at all and have a perfectly healthy pregnancy. I know a lady who had tons of symptoms along with severe morning sickness and ended up having a MMC.
I'd suggest trying to live by the mantra: "Today I'm pregnant. And today I'm going to celebrate that." Enjoy your pregnancy as long as you can, which hopefully is 8 mo

I know. It's hard. I really do understand how difficult pregnancy after loss is. I know every time I get a BFP now I'm cautiously excited and mostly just terrified. I feel like I'm checking for blood every time I go to the bathroom. And I'm constantly worried over every little pain and symptom (or lack thereof).
There is an amazing community that I found to be helpful over on reddit: reddit.com/r/CautiousBB. It's for women who are pregnant but still cautiously excited because they're high risk, pregnant after loss or whatever other reason. The ladies there are very supportive and wonderful.
Thebump.com also has a pregnant after loss board that you may find helpful. Sometimes I've found it helps a little just to have other ladies to talk with about things who understand how emotionally complicated it all is. It's impossible to feel the pure joy and excitement of a first pregnancy when you're pregnant after loss. And the ladies of PGAL communities get that.
