15 Weeks Pregnant And Sharp Pains Posted: 09-17-03 15:07pm
Hi there, I am 31 and this is my first
pregnancy I am 15 weeks along, in the
first month or 2 I felt sharp pains in my
lower abdomen and sides and was told it is
because my uterus is growing, the pains
went away shortly after. In the last week
I have been getting the sharp pains again
up both sides of my lower belly and they
shoot up to about my hips, it seems to
happen when I stand to quickly, cough or
sneeze and I really noticed it at work the
other day( I have a physically demanding
job with quite abit of heavy lifting) my
next Dr. Appt is in a week should I wait
and tell her when I see her or does this
sound serious? Please excuse my ignorance
any replies would be very helpful!
Thankyou!

Pains are common in a pregnancy, but it is
not good for you to do any heavy lifting
at all! I hope you consult you doctor on
that. But it is not good for you. Call
your doctor and ask before your
appointment.

I've experienced pain when coughing or
sneezing as well. Mostly it's still from
ligaments and muscles being stretched
because the pregnancy is growing. I was
much more aware of it in the first
pregnancy than in subsequent ones. I am
pregnant with #4 now

Thanks for the info I feel better knowing
that the pains are fairly common, I have
spoken to my Dr. Today and she said to
try to limit my lifting to 10-15lbs at a
time. Once again thanks alot I appreciate
the feedback!

I had them too...I am 17 weeks and 3
days...My doc told me that it is my
muscles stretching...Especially when you
move around, they stretch more....Ask your
doc about it....

hi kianna. I am 15 weeks pregnant like
you are. I am also a working pregnant
woman. I am not a doctor, but I would
say do not lift anything heavy. I
understand you need your job, but your
health as well as your unborn child's
health is more important. Does you boss
know that you are pregnant? If not, I
would inform the boss. Also, see if you
could change job duties, you do not want
to lose your child. Congratulations.
When is your due date? My due date is
august 10, 2007

When I responded to Kianna. I was not
aware of how old her message was. This is
because it was posted with recent
inquiries. I look at posting dates. It
is not my error that her message was
posted from three years ago. The date I
saw that day was not in 2003. It was for
2007. I guess someone went back in the
time capsule. LOL. Have a blessed day.
