It's me again guys... quick question, I'd like to hear your thoughts and inputs :) I'm 8 weeks and 1 day pregnant and off and on today I've been experiencing shooting pain that seems to be coming from my cervix/vaginal area. Is this normal? It almost feels like poking yourself in the belly button at times or, for lack of better phrasing, sex that is too hard... any thoughts? :( Thanks guys!

Most likely just stretching and growing. As long as you are not getting any bleeding or cramping all should be well.

This is most likely due to a hormone called Relaxin that is actually relaxing your pelvic area. In time you'll feel similar in other areas of your pelvis.

Thanks J9... no bleeding or cramping. Just odd cervix pain. That relieves a bit of my anxiety! :)

Just remember that the hormone called "Relaxin" is actually relaxin everything down there. Sometimes that comes with pain sometimes it doesn't. I would advise you to call the nurse on Friday just to see if the doc wants to check you out.

Sounds like a plan! I hope it's nothing serious!

Really shouldn't be, but your doc will know for sure. Since you did have a miscarriage he most likely will want to see you.

It could be round ligament pain caused by the relaxin. That hurts a lot. I had that with all my kids. It's really hard when you can't walk or have to sit down before you fall because of it. Now that only happened to me with the twins.

Hi hun I got that when I was pregnant 2 and I didn't know what it was and I've been getting it for past couple of days and I'm not pregnant well I don't think I am

Hi I also had that pain and I had an ectopic years before and was so worried all through my pregnency. But when ever I asked the docs and midwives they just said it was streching I now have a lovely 10mnts old little baby girl. Good luck I am sure you will be fine xx

Thanks to all of you... my doctor said it was a normal feeling unless it gets unbearable or is acompanied by bleeding! Thanks again ladies!

Glad to hear your normal... I just can't see being pregnant as normal anymore... lol...
