A member asked:
I'm 16 weeks pregnant and iv been experiencing a good deal of period like cramps with lower back pain and occasional sharp pains. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stretching uterus: The stretching, growing uterus can cause some cramping and the stretching of the supporting ligaments can cause sharp pains so this may well be normal. However, these could also be caused by a UTI so checking with your OB would be a good idea. Hope this helps.
