It's so hard knowing what's normal and what's not in pg isn't it? You could have round ligament pain, I get it on either side and it's like stabbing/pinching pain. When my belly was crampy (above my pubic bone like AF pain) I was worried as I didn't know if that was normal. I've learnt to tell the difference between crampy pain and ligament pain now. The shooting pain down your leg sounds what I get too, mine shoots from my lower back into my bum and then down my leg. Lovely!
The other thing I was going to tell you is that when I'm constipated (which is a lot of the time) I get crampy feeling in my belly from that too. When I have a bowel movement, the pain goes sway so I figure it's from the poo being stuck (sorry TMI!!). Has your pain improved in any way?
How did you go yesterday?? Did you get it all checked out??
Always good to stay on the safe side.
I had the shooting pains down my leg with DD as she was sitting on a nerve and sometimes my leg would stop working for a sec and I'd come close falling over!
As the other ladies have said it's so hard to know whats normal, especially with your first preg, just stay relaxed and ring the hossy as many time as you feel you need dear.
Take care and let us know how you're going.
