Sharp Abdominal & Vaginal Pain During Pregnancy: What Could It Be?


Question
I'm almost 14 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child and about a week ago I started to have really sharp pains around the vaginal/lower abdominal area.  It almost feels like I might of pulled a muscle or something.  It feels like my vagina is bruised but there is no swelling.  Its very painful when I'm laying down to roll over, it hurts to stand, walk, it basically hurts to move my legs.  And the pain is very sharp and is in the vaginal/abdominal area.  I read on the Internet about pubic symphisis?  I have a doctor's appointment in 3 days, but I would like to know before hand, if possible, what this is??

Answer
Brittany,
Your symphisis pubis is the bone right where your pubic hair grows. It is not possible to be having bone pain yet. The baby is just too small. It sounds like you are having some stretching from your uterus. You should ask your doctor next week when you see him or her.
