Im around 7 weeks and getting this mild pulling kind of pain in my lower tummy on and off. Its not severe but it makes me anxious every time. Is this a normal pregnancy thing or should I get it checked?
Mild lower abdominal pulling is common as the uterus stretches and ligaments adjust. But sharp, severe, or one sided pain, or pain with bleeding, needs the doctor right away. Mild and occasional is usually fine.
I felt these little pulling pains in my lower belly and got scared. Did others feel this too? My gynac said the round ligament stretching is normal, but if it ever gets sharp I will call her immediately.
I had lower belly pain early and because of my history I called my gynac at once. She wanted to rule out anything serious and I am glad I went. Please dont brush off strong or constant pain, get it checked.
