Abdominal Pain in Early Pregnancy: What to Do?

Question
Hello my name is Natalia. I am 9 weeks pregnant. Today I awoke with a dull pain in my lower left abdomen that got worse as the day went on and intensified to a sharp jabbing pain when moving positions. I slept to see if the pain would go away and when I woke up it was worse than before. I was about to go to the ER when the pain intensified and peaked before disappearing instantly. Is this normal?

Answer
Dear Natalia

I urge you to go to the ER or your Caring Ob as soon as possible. This may be an early indication for an ectopic pregnancy. A pelvic ultrasound and determination of hCG level in your blood may be needed for proper diagnosis.

Good Luck
