I am 5 months pregnant and the last few days I have felt very different. I have cramping on and off during the day. This is almost like bowel or menstrual cramping. Also, pinches, long pulls and short sharp shooting pains.

Is this normal or should I have concerns?
Becoming very worried!!

Thank you!!!!!!!

This may be the uterus stretching etc. However since I can't monitor you or the baby, I would let your doctor know you are having these discomforts and be seen, as this may also be a sign of braxton hicks contractions. So do give your doctor a call this morning, as they may want to make sure it's not any type of contractions etc.

Best of luck and congrats on the baby as well. Hope this helps, If you need anything else please feel free to ask. If you found this helpful don’t forget to click the *Accept* button
