Hey, I kept getting really sharp pains very early on, sometimes it would make me shout out in pain, or if I stood up quick i would have to sit straight back down again! I had a scan at 7 and a half weeks and all was ok. Now I'm worried becasue I have stopped getting the pains!! I have another scan on Saturday so fingers crossed.
My doc said they were normal stretching pains and even your bones widening and as long as you didnt get any bleeding and they didnt carry on past 8 weeks (with would cause concern for an eptopic) then not to worry too much.

But if in doubt, ask your doc!

awww thanx so much everyone, that puts my mind at rest a bit now. I had convinced myself that there was something seriously wrong after reading all symptoms of everything, i think ive really got to stop doing that! I can't get an appointment til thursday so you really have helped ease the worry til then.
