Back Pain and Abdominal Pain

The very same thing happened to me. I had lower back pain and sharp stabbing pains during my entire first trimester. I was constantly worried, but my doctor always assured me that it was normal and everything was fine. If the worry just won't go away, put a call into the dr. They're there to ease your mind as well as check you out. Good luck and Congrats!

That sounds normal to me. I seem to remember those types of pains when I had my daughter.

I had the exact same thing. I called the doctor, and she said it was normal. I know its unnerving. It will stop (although I forget when) Your uterus is stretching.

S.,
You should get to your dr asap. It could be nothing, but in my experience, if something just doesn't feel right, do not ignore; take care of it immediately. Call the dr right now and tell them you need to get in now!!

get used to it- you'll be experiencing discomfort for 40 weeks!!!

I experienced sharp pain in my lower abdomen when I got pregnant with my 2nd child. It was so sharp that I fell to the ground in a fetal position at times or I would brace myself while standing. This was all in the first few weeks. Come to find out it was the cysts on my ovaries bursting. It was completely harmless to me and my baby just painful. These cysts are what made it difficult to get pregnant causing me to use Clomid as well. So you can check with your OB/GYN to see if this is what is causing your pain as well.
Congrats on baby number 1!

Hi S.! Congrats on you're pregnancy! All of those things are very normal in early pregnancy. Stomach upset and back pain. You're body is producing a lot of hormones and they can cause you to have short ligament pain in your lower abdomen. That'll prolly continue as you get bigger :) I'd get as much rest as you can because the nausea and fatigue will set in soon! You'll do great! You're body is doing the right thing!

I don't want to sound like an alarmist & this pain could be a totally normal part of early pregnancy like everyone else has mentioned. However, if the sharp stabbing pain persists (even if not accompanied by bleeding) for several hours or days at a time, you should see your dr. I experienced this & it was an ectopic pregnancy, where the sharp pains were actually internal bleeding. I hope this is not the case & that the pregnancy continues without any complications.

Sounds normal. I will never forget that sharp abdominal pain I had at the beginning with my first. It shouldn't be very often, and as long as there's no accompanying bleeding I wouldn't worry. Your muscles are stretching and your body is getting rearranged on the inside - the pain, discomfort, impending morning sickness etc are all good signs that your body is doing what it is supposed to be doing. Congratulations!

S.,

Very normal. I had, for the first 6 weeks of my most recent pregnancy, menstrual-like cramping. Your uterus is just getting used to it's new inhabitant. Just watch for any extreme cramping and bleeding, which are signs to call your OB imediately. God Bless!

The pain is very normail! I've had 3 kids and with all of them I think i encountered these pains as well. Sometimes they'll fell like really really bad cramps but u know they arent since the obvious....u ARE pregnant. Well all i can say is ur body is going through a lot of chnages now and for the next 8 months. As time goes by though the pains will leave. I remember having really bad back pains with my daughter. Its like your lower back? Well those too will pass...all i can recommend is to lay on a heating pad and take tylenol. Usually that helps!!!

I had the same thing and was freaked out and went to the doctor. I was in first trimester. I was so embarrassed when the doctor said you are constipated. It had only been aprox. 1 1/2 days or 2 days. He said to take Fleet glycerin suppositories. There were other things he told me to take if that didn't get it. I'm not sure what they are now. Wish you well. I also had clomid. My beautiful blessing is 9 months old now.
P.S.The pain went away went I got past the constipation.

Hello!
Congratulations on your new pregnancy!. Abdominal pain can be quite common as your uterus shifts and grows and adjusts to the new baby growing inside. Unfortunately back pain may be a common companion off and on during the rest of your pregnancy as the baby grows. The uterus is actually attached to the spine by 2-3 muscles, this is what kinda keeps it anchored since your uterus sorta "freefloats" in your abdomen. As the baby grows it pulls on the muscles which in turn pull on the back causing some back pain. I have 5 kids and have experienced about every pregnancy pain there is lol. Hope this helped you at least a little bit.
Have a great day,
A.

I was convinced I was having a miscarriage almost monthly during both of my pregnancies due to cramping that felt exactly like a period. I carried 2 kids to term with no complications...I even "spotted" for the first several months.
I dont think this is common. But it can happen.
I'd call your doctor anyway. That always makes me feel better.

I would see the doctor as they will be able to tell you what is going on. You are so early in your pregnancy that it could be anything or nothing. I don't have any history with Clomid so this could be a normal thing for this treatment. However, I do have history of having a miscarriage and felt what you are feeling; however, I was experiencing some spotting the day before I had any cramping. That is why I would just call you doctor to ease any concerns. Good luck!

Congratulations, I'm not sure about the back pain, but I had sharp pains sometimes cramping with all 3 of my pregnancis. Especially in the first couple of months.
