Sharp pains, TMI- but it HURTS!

[linzerr]

So today I'm 5 weeks, and I've been having these really sharp, shooting pains in my bum (sorry, gross!) but its SO painful. It shoots all the way up my abdomen. I'm starting to get constipated.. Before I got pregnant I would have a BM once, sometimes twice a day, and now it's about every 2-3 days. I'm hoping it's just because I'm constipated, but you know how it is to worry about everything! I was just wondering if anyone else knows what I'm talking about. It lasts for a few minutes and doesn't happen all the time, but it happens enough to make me nervous.

The first time I had it, I freaked out and went to the ER and when they drew my blood, it was negative for Pregnancy. I got my bfp about 5 days later, so I'm not sure what it is. I've read that a symptom of ectopic is pressure in the anus or pain when you cough so every time I get this pain I sort of freak out.

Any one else know what I'm talking about?

lol well I definitely know what you are talking about! I have had those weird pains but even well before pregnancy. I'm not quite sure what it is but it has always happened to me so I wouldn't worry about it! I have always had issues with constipation so it very well could be related. Plus I think there is a difference between the pressure feeling and the sharp pang that I think you are talking about Hope this helps you realize you're not alone. Try not to worry!

Thanks! I'm not TOO concerned, but I thought I'd see if anyone else experienced it. I'm sure I'm fine, I'm staying positive!

I had those too! I haven't had any recently but I chalked it up to uterus stretching and just general body changes.

I wouldn't worry too much about them. Me and my sisters have suffered from these pains, "bum-shocks" we call them, since we were teenagers. They tend to be more frequent around my period or if i was really constipated. When i first found out i was pregnant i got them more frequently and a lot more painful and i was worried about ectopic but an early scan at 9 weeks showed that my baby is fine I'm sure you will be too. x

I have had these for many years, way before I was pregnant. I often used to get them around AF too. It feels like someone is stabbing you up the bum! I have to stand still and suck in my breath!! I have always belived it to be trapped wind/gas, but I could be wrong!

Yeah I get these, although not as much while pregnant. Mine used to be worse around time of my period and were really really painful!! Think that it's something to do with trapped wind lol xx

thanks ladies. just glad i knot the only one and that it seems normal. they go away when I'm finally able to make a BM so it probably has something to do with that
