Short Shar[p Shooting pains? 5 weeks preg?

Question

Im 5 weeks preg and have short, sharp shooting painsin my pelvic region that last only a few seconds about 4-5 times a day. Is this normal?

Answer 1

very normal if they come and go like that. If the pain comes and stays then you should be concerned and see a doctor.

Usually those short sharp pains are just caused by all the acitivity going on around your uterus; stretching ligaments and muscles, that sort of thing.
Also feeling very light period like cramps is considered quite normal in early pregnancy. I'm 12 weeks with my third and get all sorts of annoying niggles and pains everyday but ultrasounds are all normal and its just put down to the stretching and enlarging of the uterus and ligaments.

Best of luck and contact your doctor if any pain persists without a break at all.
