I know I should probably post this on another board

I know I should be posting this on another board but since I have only written to people on here I feel more comfortable asking this on here. I started feeling cramps earlier this morning but not like PMS cramps. I know its normal to have some cramps and even spotting early in your pregnancy so I didn't think much about it eventually they stopped but the thing im worried about is three times today I have gotten sharp pains on my right side. I called my doctor because I had an ectopic 3 years ago and it felt like that sharp of pain but I wasn't this early. She told me it was probably nothing and since I have an appointment schedule July 6th with the ultrasound that I should be fine and I am just being over worried (this is a brand new doctor because I just moved across the country) also, I guess I should put in there that I had my cervix lasered (sorry on the spelling) last year because of cancer which unfortunately makes it really thin. So my question if you don't mind my babbling is did anyone have sharp pains early in there pregnancy? and in your opinion would you get another doctor who didn't seem to concerned? (I know doctors are busy but this women hung up the phone in midsentence).

 Thanks girls..sorry its kinda long and drawn out.

If you have a history of ectopic pregnancy and are experiencing sharp pain, then yes, I would call another doctor.  Actually I would call another doctor simply because she was short with you on the phone...but I do think your symptoms are concerning just given that you have experienced ectopic pregnancy before.  Maybe she knows something I don't, but no doctor should hang up on you without putting you at ease that she has truly heard your concerns.

Hhm, well I don't have any experience w/ ectopic pg or laser surgery, but I DO remember getting sharp pains and cramps sometimes when I was PG. (I never had bleeding, but 2 friends did.) So, it is probably nothing.... although I don't blame you at all for being worried. I don't see anything wrong with looking for a second opinion, especially if it continues. Good luck!

the sharp pains along with the history of ectopic really should have been more concerning to the doctor. I would ask another dr if you can or if it gets worse I woudl just go to the ER.

I just had an ectopic pregnancy right before this pregnancy so I know your fear.  I get pains now, and even earlier in pregnancy because of stretching muscles.  I didn't have pain with the ectopic pregnancy (though the doctor said that I should have) but I did bleed.  More than spotting but less than a period.   I was also extremely run down the whole time.  I would find a doctor asap.  Even if it is nothing, that fear will affect your baby and you will not be at rest until you know. I will be praying for you and hope that it is just stretching muscles.
