pains in left lower stomach @6 weeks pregnant

[jojo2608]

hi i am 6 weeks pregnant. have been tying for a few years and finally got my positive tests 2 weeks ago. i have been experiencing sharp pains in the lower left of my stomach and have been slightly concerned. has anyone else had these pains. they are not constant. and not very very painful but enough to know they are their.

Don't wish to be an alarmist jojo but think you ought to get this checked out just because of a remote possibility it could be an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy. Probably there are no problems but better be safe than sorry.

It could be implantation pains but to be on the safe side you should ring either NHS direct ot the Early Pregnancy Unit at your maternity hospital.Don't ignore it as it could be something that needs medical intervention.Good luck and I hope you get it sorted out.x

Congratulations Jojo!

Chances are its the ligaments stretching to accommodate that little bundle inside your tum that's causing the pains. Hopefully you are not bleeding or in any acute pain? If so, like yogasun mentioned, it would be a good idea to contact your GP/Midwife and get things checked out....and it'll put your mind at rest. Let us know how you get on!

I would bet it was implantation pains, I had them on both mine and is started at around about 6 weeks and was on and off for about a month!

But..... (you know what i'm about to say!)

Go and get checked out, just to be safe!

Congrats chick x

Hi JoJo, I, too, would think they are implantation pains - are they like mild period pains? I felt pains like period pains around 6weeks, it went on for about 2 weeks if I remember rightly.

Hope you heard back from the nurse, and everything is ok xx

hi there nurse called back and reckons its the same, also stretching. feeling alot better today anyway, so all is fine. i have my 7 week scan next tues, which is very exciting. thanx for your comments :)
