Is it normal to feel sharp pains in early pregnancy?

Is it normal to feel sharp pains in early pregnancy? These are signs that something is wrong and should be reported to your doctor.
Stomach pain in early pregnancy can be quite unnerving, especially if it’s your first pregnancy and you’re still not familiar with the feeling of carrying a baby in your belly. While cramping during early pregnancy is usually a normal part of it, it’s still a good thing to pay attention to your pregnancy pains. 
If something feels out of the ordinary, you should contact your midwife or GP immediately. But if you know the signs and symptoms of early pregnancy (or first trimester) cramps, you should be able to tell if something is wrong or not.
