No, it isn't normal for Hanna to cry in when she moves, and it could be caused by a joint problem, back problem, hip problem, or injury. This is definitely something that needs to be checked out by a vet as soon as possible, as it's very important for her to be healthy so she can look after her puppies correctly when they arrive. I would take her into a vet today. I hope this helps, best of luck!
