Sharp shooting pains in lower abdomen at 13 wks preg.?

Question

they are not constant but every now and then i get these sharp shooting pains like im being stabbed in my real low abdomen. im 13 weeks pregnant i dont think this is the stretching of ligaments pain cause ive had that and this is totally different...i was just wondering if this is something i should be concerned about...should i call the doc? i have an appointment on tues do you think it is ok to wait till then to bring it up? thank you!

Answer 1

Ya I think it is ok. I am 12 weeks and I also get them now and then!  Mostly at night I think! I really don't know what it is either but I saw a nurse the other day and she didn't seem to concerned about it! I think it maybe just constipation pains for me!

But I have wondering this too, but I don't think it's to serious!!

Good Luck and Congrats!!!!

Answer 2

Sounds like round ligament pain.  As long as you don't have pain that doubles you over, or bleeding you should be ok.  Mention it to your Dr on Tuesday just to make sure that is what it is.  

Answer 3

Yes, call the doctors. They will probably have you come in sooner than tuesday. You dont want to go all weekend with those pains, plus if you are in the US Monday is a holiday.

I am not sure what it is. It could be the ligaments and it is just worse with this pregnancy.  

Answer 4

If your worried now then I would call my Dr just to be on the safe side. I had the same problem it turned out to be a mix of stretching ligaments and a UTI. It never hurts to call your Dr.
