Just got my positive test and im feeling mild pulling type sensation in lower pet. First pregnancy so im not sure if pain is even normal this early. Anyone experienced this?
My MIL told me that slight pelvic heaviness is normal as the baby settles in. But she also made sure I called my doctor when I felt a sharp pinch, just to be safe.
I am in my second trimester now, but in early weeks I had mild stomach cramps that made me so anxious. Did anyone else feel those mild period-like cramps in the first few weeks?
My doctor explained that mild cramping is normal due to implantation and uterus growth. But she strictly told me that severe pain, especially on one side, requires immediate medical attention to rule out ectopic pregnancy.
I rushed to the hospital in my 5th week because of mild cramping, but the doctor said it was just my uterus expanding. However, if your pain is sharp or there is bleeding, definitely check with your doctor.
Slight cramping is normal, but don't ignore it if it's severe. Rather than spending on emergency hospital visits later, it's better to mention any pain during your regular scheduled scans to save on extra consultation fees.
