Q: Sharp Pains!!!!
asked by: lauren1416 on July 26th, 2007
Experienced User , Rather EHEALTHy
I am 33 weeks prego. and have been having these sharp pains in my stomach today. They feel like a stabbing pain. They are in the middle part of my stomach and sometimes the pain shoots down my pelvic area. Its really uncomfortable and hurts pretty bad at times. Does anyone have any ideas as to what this is?? Is it normal? Should I contact my dr.???

i called my dr. and the on call dr. called me back. He said it was hard to diagnose what was going on over the phone and that I should call my dr. 1st thing in the morning and see if I can get in b4 noon. I just know these pains are very uncomfortable and almost making me nauseas

braxton hicks sha=ould not be that painful that it is making you sick. Never. HUrt yes painful no. on a scale of 1 to 10 how bad is it? 1 being everything being fine no pain 10 being worse pain in the world like crying cause it hurts so much.
Anyting 5 and above go now 4 and under call again.

the pain isnt unbearable. Just not like any other pain ive ever felt. Its about a 4 or 5. Sometimes the pain can be really sharp and shoot into my back.

i called a nurse up at the hospital and she said if the pain got worse and more freguent within the hour that I should def. go to the hospital. But, after laying down and resting the pain went away a little. I was still a little nauseated, but the sharp pains werent as bad. I have called my dr. this morning and am waiting for her to call me back.
