5 weeks pregnant and sharp pains.

So I am a little scared. I've only known a week that I am pregnant and I am soo scared to have a miscarriage! I started having slight sharp pains yesterday throughout my stomach, not in one direct area. They kinda go here and then there and they aren't constant, but they are scaring me and I don't know what they could be. I don't have an appointment until Thursday so I am on my own right now. What would be causing the pains? They aren't terrible or unmanagable at all like OMG I gotta go to the ER or anything.

Probably gas. If you start bleeding then head to the ER.

Quoting I got my BFP 7/1/08:“ So I am a little scared. I've only known a week that I am pregnant and I am soo scared to have a miscarriage! ... [snip!] ... now. What would be causing the pains? They aren't terrible or unmanagable at all like OMG I gotta go to the ER or anything.”

are they like period pains?

Quoting .CharlotteAmber.:“ are they like period pains?”

No not at all like period pains. Usually period is cramping this is more like a twinge in my stomach. I mean I feel huge right now ( I think I may be farther along, but won't know till my dr's appt.) and I was thinking that maybe it's my stomach stretching... that's kinda what it feels like, and like I said it's not like oh my gosh I am having apain it's just kinda on and off.

sounds like mild stretching and/or ligament pain nothing to worry about

Thanks, hopefully it's nothing big

Could be early ligament pains. ur belly is stretching to make room for baby. and for ur utrus to start moving up. its normal. as long as u arent having dubbled over cramping and or bleeding u and baby are fine =]] conratz on a BFP btw! and dont worry..stress isnt good and that may also be the cause of the pain. so just relax and enjoying being pregnant! if u gett to worried go to ur L&D and tell them ur last problems with the baby and maybe they can give u a check over.

especially if you had a flat toned stomach before you were pregnant you will be more prone to pains and also if its your first pregnancy...

not to worry, I had them every day at the same time up until like 7 weeks. they are just growing pains..

Your ok... its a weird feeling when your body is getting ready for the journey you got ahead,... i remember thinking i was going to start my period.. probably why i was in such denial about being preg hahahaha till i saw the baby in the ultrasound. But if you start to bleed or the pain is out of control call your doc and go in. But just icky minor crampy pain that just make ya feel like yuck haha thats normal. At least it was for me... and i always got it around the time i was SUPPOSED to have a period. But my girly is great and ready to get out!!! hahaha
