abdominal pain in pregnancy
is in normal to have lower abdominal pain in your early pregnancy?
I am 6 weeks pregnant and having on and off pain. Is this normal?
Yes, definitly some pains are normal. I had menstrual like cramps until 6 weeks, and was reassured that they were normal as long as I wasn’t spotting or bleeding. Also, sharp pains when you change position are normal (round ligament pains) as your uterus is expanding rapidly!
But if you have a fever, spotting, or persistant pains in the same place, especially if it’s one-sided, you need to rule out an ectopic pregnancy (tubal pregnancy) or even appendicitis.
I had lots of strange pains, including one-sided cramps very early on. I got an early ultrasound to rule out a tubal pregnancy, and everything was normal. (and no bleeding thank God)
All the best and congrats!
