Sharp pains early pregnancy Posted: 04-26-08 21:06pm
well.. lately ive been having really bad
sharp pains and im 18 weeks pregnant. this
is normal right? im so paranoid.
plus i can feel him moving around like
crazy
the only reason why im worried is that my
doctor said it could be a sign of a
miscarrige, gas, or stretching. i dont
know im just so paranoid.

Pains are normal as long as there is no
bleeding with the pains which can mean
miscarriage.
THe sharp pains could just be your
ligaments stretching and making room for
the baby to grow and move around.
its most likely gas or stretching.
try not to worry too much, i worry a
little more than i should too.

i had the same pains at about the same
time as you, and i went to hospital only
to be told that it was gas :/ i spent
hours waiting to be told that, and i was
crying it hurt so bad lol. dont worry too
much, some pain is normal during pregnancy

I remember when i was going to my family
doctor for the first time [ i had just
found one when i found out about my
pregnancy] that i was in the shower, and
started to feel this pain, i had to get
out and sit down it hort so bad, then i
had to hold on to my computer desk cuz it
was hurting so bad too, i thought
something was wrong, but everything was
fine, just stretching and gas, i heard the
baby's heart beat that day too

It is called round ligament or long
ligament pains and it is normal. Mention
it to your doctor at your next
appointment.

These pains have nothing to do with the
baby or the baby's health. It is your
stomach stretching. Always assume your
child is growing normally and that your
pregnancy is normal unless you are told
something different by your doctor. Every
woman worries needlessly over their
pregnancy - think of how much time is
wasted on that? Your baby is fine.
