HI all,
I've been to the dr's 2 times in the last few weeks for severe cramps, they are not consistent however throughout my day i will get stabbing pains in my lower stomach.... it really hurts and it feels like a side ache when you run however its in my lower stomach... it really concerns me and my doctor says everything looks ok so far and its not an ectopic... does anyone else have cramping and shooting pains throughout the day...I am a teacher and i can get through my day however i am uncomfortable.... please let me know if anyone else is experiencing this as well...
Re: stabbing Pains.... 6 weeks preggo
My cramps are fairly light and come and go. That said, every now and then, I'll get a stabbing pain that makes me pause for a few seconds and wait it out. I've woken up with these types of pains twice. Thankfully, mine never last more than 30 seconds and aren't frequent at all.
I'm a teacher too. It's never fun to put on a happy face and pretend all is well in front of students. I hope you feel better and your cramps let up a bit soon.
Congrats on your pregnancy and welcome to the board.
Not sure but maybe these are ligament stretching pains similar to what another poster was writing about this morning?
I get shooting pains occassionally (haven't for a week or so), through my pelvic area, or seemingly right through my cervix. My friend said she had something similar as well and blamed it on stretching ligaments - I looked it up online and it seems like that could be it.
Whatever it is - hope you feel better soon.
