Sooo.....I've really been trying not to freak out as much...

From the spotting in the very beginning, to not really having any symptoms, I have been easily freaking out. Lately I've tried to stay more calm and realize, I truly have no control over anything and all I can do is pray pray pray. I know I'm going to experience odd cramps and twinges and I just have to go with it all.

That being said () for most of today I've had a sharp pain right at my pubic and kinda down the "lady area". It's not really a cramp, more like a quick shooting pain. Gas maybe? I don't know. Anyone have advice? Or just a "been there"?

Thanks,

twinges and pains are totally normal if you notice any blood call your ob..trust me I am 36 weeks pregnant today and I am just as crazy as I was when I was 8 weeks pregnant..but please try to think positive and enjoy this time

I had all sorts of odd feelings in the very beginning. It's definitely scary but your body is going through a lot of changes so I am sure there are some feelings that we will just never understand

Pains, and even cramping is normal during pregnancy means baby is growing (so long as it isn't associated with blood)

As long as you are not bleeding or bowled over in pain, you should be ok. However, if you are unsure, call your OB. That's what s/he is there for
