I quizzed my midwife about some odd groin pain that kinda ran from my groin down into my upper thighs, she told me that there are two large nerves that run down both legs from the groin to the thigh, and as the muscles loosen up due to the increase in hormones and the body's preparation of carrying a baby, I could look forward to more 'shooting' type pains occurring in this area. She added that it is completely normal, and very common during pregnancy.
i'm about 5-6 weeks along with my first and i know where your coming from!! i've been getting period-like cramps for about three weeks now and i've been a nervous wreck. last night i ended up curled up in the foetal position on my bed almost in tears cause of the pain and because i was so scared.
i spoke to the doctor about it this arvo and she said, not to worry, it's just your body stretching and loosening up for the growth of your bub.
i know the pains are scary but just curl up until it's comfy and just wait it out, thats all i can say to do.
