cramps/shooting pains- just need some reassurance

mrsjg2013 · April 2014

My PGAL brain does NOT like the mild cramping I've been having off/on! In addition, just this afternoon I've been having mild shooting/sharp pains on the right side (closer to my hip bone). Seems like the first time I was pregnant someone told me that this was "normal" as the body goes through changes, but since I've experienced both of these symptoms with both of my miscarriages, I can't help but pray they go away quickly! Some reassurance from my PGAL friends would help to ease my mind! Thanks ladies

I think it's fairly common to have random cramps and stabbing/shooting pains as your uterus grows. If it's more painful than it is just bothersome, or if it is really persistent/intense in that one spot, I would suggest calling your doctor for reassurance. FX it's nothing!

The occasional twinges and stretching feeling is normal but if it's a constant pain I would call your doctor just to check.

Also could it be gas? Thoughts and prayers to you that it's just normal pregnancy stuff.

I had sharp left sided upper pelvis/hip pains last week. They lasted for 4-5days. I saw my RE and had an US, no found reasons for the pain. Calling it a growing/stretching pain. It's since subsided, every once in a while I'll have a sharp attack, but usually with a sneeze or cough.

Sharp pains that go away quickly are *usually* no concern. My MW said concerning pains are ones that are persistent and don't go away no matter what you do (i.e., lie down/rest). If you're still having ongoing pain (cramping) I would maybe ask your doctor. But I've had lots of bouts of mild cramping from 5 weeks onwards, and lots of stabbing pains, and so far things seem to be ok! FX for you!

I've had both mild cramping off and on and those sharp pains from time to time in my lower pelvic area on either side, so far all is well! I think it's just growing pains but you could let your dr know and make sure they aren't worried.

Thank you all for the advice and support! Right now the sharp pains go away immediately and are only every so often... if it persists, I will likely call my RE just to check. Knowing that others have experienced it makes me feel so much at ease... thanks again for sharing!! ((Hugs)) to you all!
