What is the deal with the cramps and shooting pain in my lower abdomen? I am only about 5 weeks pregnant. Has anyone else exerienced this?

yes, I did.....It's just your body adjusting to the pregnancy, you are just very intune with your body...You probably only feel it one side, right? If it becomes unbearable then call your doc, but it is normal

If its any consolation, I also had those pains when I was pregnant and they seemed to diminish around the end of the first trimester. Your uterus is stretching a million different ways, even if only 5 weeks along, to compensate for your little bean in there. My greatest advice is really to try not to worry (unless the cramps are accompanied by bleeding - then call your OB immediately). Good luck with your pregnancy!

I would say this is normal (I have had 2 children) as you progress in your pregnancy, your body will be going through some major changes and your muscles and skin will be stretching to accomodate the baby. If you are really concerned check with your OB - you know your body the best and if you feel something isn't right check with your Dr.

My sister in law had awful shooting pains, she said it lasted for a couple weeks, doctor told her it was normal, her uterus is stretching to hold the baby.

The round ligaments that hold your uterus in place are stretching. That can cause cramping. I experienced it. And be prepared- it just gets worse.
