Is it normal in the first weeks of pregnancy to have stomach pains?
1 Answers
Abdominal pain in early pregnancy is a fairly quite common complaint and may be caused by several reasons which include:
1. Some women may get cramps with a little bleeding when the embryo implants itself into the wall of the womb. This happens at roughly the same time your period would normally start.
2. You may also feel some cramping as your womb starts to change shape and grow ready to accommodate your baby.
3. At around 10 – 12 weeks, lots of women start to feel sharp pains on one or both sides of their groin when they stand up, stretch or twist. This is just the ligaments that support your womb stretching as it starts to grow to accommodate the growing baby.
