See your doctor: Sometimes severe radiating pain (shooting pain down leg) can occur due to the baby/uterus position lying on the nerves of the pelvic wall or blood vessels. Best to see your doctor if severe and persistent.

Normal: Is normal as long as it comes and goes best thing is to avoid meds if you can.
