Early pregnancy question...?

Question

so i found out im about 3-4 weeks pregnant and today i started having a kind of stabbing cramp in my stomach.. it doesnt last long but it hurts pretty bad.. is this normal or should i be worried?

Answer 1

If your not bleeding then don't get stressed out stress is your #1 enemy when your pregnant.

Answer 2

bleeding is a bad sign during pregnancy. call your doc first thing in the morning

Answer 3

Hmmm!  No this is not normal.  If the cramping is in pelvic area or low back and radiates around to front this could be premature contractions.  You need to let your doctor know about this immediately.  They will probably want to set up an ultra sound.  If the pains are high up in the abdomen you may simply be having gas pains, but either way you need to check with your doctor to make sure.

Answer 4

I had very bad cramps when I first became pregnant.  I thought for sure it was a period coming on.  However, I carried the pregnancy to term and had a healthy baby boy.  They say the pain that some women feel in the first few weeks is the embryo just trying to plant itself to the uterus.  It's hard not to worry when you are pregnant though, so if you need piece of mind call your doctor.

Answer 5

You should go to the Emergency Room.

Answer 6

yeah i felt a "stabbing" pain also everything is fine unless your are bleeding and in severe pain

Answer 7

If you have bleeding with the pain you should go straight to a&e!   If you are concerned call the doctor

Answer 8

if u r worried about it, go to the doctor. congraluations!!!!!!!

Answer 9

your body is adjusting. your tendons n ligaments are shifting to make room for what growing. some cramping will be normal. if the pain becomes unbearable and u only feel it on one side and/or you also are bleeding, then seek treatment

Answer 10

Pain is never normal (til delivery time).  Go get checked out right away!

Answer 11

My wife is pregnant, at that point in her pregnancy she had everything from stabbing sort of pains, to cramps, to normal nausea, to vomiting... everything. However, if you're concerned? You can always ask a doctor. Worrying and fretting and anxiety are worse than anything else while pregnant.

Answer 12

we have the same symptoms,,,i think thats pretty normal as long as ur not bleeding i think u dont have to worry!

Answer 13

Its most likely just implantation pains. You can also have a small amount of blood discharge, by small i mean little on the toilet paper, if there is any more see your doctor.

I didnt find out i was pregnant till about 6 weeks because i thought the pain was just my period starting but it was the implantation pains.

Congratulations and best of luck!!!

Answer 14

i'd go to a doctor just to be sure. during my last miscarriage (before i knew i was pregnant) i was having really bad cramps and stabbing pains, like what you're describing. i figured they were normal since i sometimes got them with my normal periods but i found out two weeks later i was pregnant. they started to disapear but one week later i started bleeding and had a miscarriage. thinking back, i believe that whole time when i was having pain and discomfort something was wrong. it's always better to be safe than sorry.

**EDIT;; PLEASE, PLEASE GO TO THE DOCTOR. intense pain is not normal! these are exactly what i went though, and i swear if i would have known i was pregnant, i wouldn't have miscarried.

by the way (if you could please message me or something) how did you find out you were pregnant so early on? i'm sort of curious i might be, but took a test and it came out negative.

Answer 15

CONGRATS!!! Yeah what your feeling is normal it's just the start of whats to come.  

Answer 16

I WAS JUST GOING THROUGH THAT W/ SOME MILD SPOTTING TOO, THANK GOSH WE SAW A HEART BEAT TODAY.... I THINK THE CRAMPING IS NORMAL AS LONG AS YOU DON'T BLEED  

OR GET SEVERE CRAMPS...GOOD LUCK TO YOU

Answer 17

its normal the baby's moving

Answer 18

Its the muscles. The changes in your belly will make different amounts of stress on the muscles that they aren't used to. They will get used to it more but it will come and go. Quick movements or repeated bending will probably make them come more often. But they are nothing to worry about unless the pain doesn't go and there is no bleeding.

Answer 19

you should be fine.  unless you are bleeding.  is the pain in your stomach or lower abdomen?
