A member asked:

I have sharp pain like someones stabbing me with needles in both sides of my stomach could it be the baby the way its laying or something worse?

Need more info: How far along are you in the pregnancy? Is the pain up high in the stomach area or down in the uterus/pelvis area? Are there other symptoms - nausea, diarrhea, urinary problems? Severe pain of any kind during pregnancy should be checked out by your OB.
