Morning everyone,

Hope someone can help and give me some advice on this.....

Just over the last couple of days very occasionally i get a really really sharp pain like a bluntish knife being jabbed into me (just above the pubic bone i guess and to the right a bit) is this normal? I usually get 3 or 4 sharp pains they only last a split second but omg they are painful, it makes me jump or wake up and almost cry, but just as quickly as it comes it goes again....Do you think lumpy might be laying on a nerve ? Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks in advance

This link suggests its when we move but i can get them at any time - even sitting still.
Mention it to your MW but I wouldnt worry. It's normal . x

Yup i had this in my second trimester, i got so worried and rang my midwife. She told me it was round ligament pain. It does stop you in your tracks so its quite scary but its fine

Just ring your midwife for a peace of mind

PS. mine also kicked in BIG TIME in week 18. Better now but i bet it'll be back. x

Great thanks for all the responses it is so reassuring to know i'm not over reacting and it is completely normal. It only seems to happen to me when i am sitting still which is odd, but thank you ladies for putting my mind at ease

I had these pains in my 15th and 16th week and i really hoped that was the end of it but in the last couple of days i've been getting them.

my biggest stabby pains are when i am sitting still or driving or something. weird, but normal they say. I can also get them when i stand up though.

Sounds like round ligament pain to me as well.

I had this too it is so sore then gone before you know it...It will hopefully only last another couple of weeks x

Lovely pains, aren't they? I've been getting the same thing when I roll over in bed!
