Sexual Health - Pregnancy pains.

I am about 2 months pregnant, and I am having horrible pains in my stomach. I've tried heating pads and ice packs, and nothing seems to work.

What is the pain like? Is it only in one particular place? Is it accompanied by bleeding?
When i was pregnant, I was told that some pains were normal in pregnancy. If the pain is really severe maybe it'd be worth getting checked out at the hospital for?

Take care,

It is definately a good idea to get checked out by your doctor ASAP to make sure everything is going ok. Pregnancy, especially at your stage, is very fragile and pain can be suggestive of things going wrong and so needs to be checked out to make sure that isn't the case whether or not it is accompanied by bleeding. If it becomes really severe then get to the ER straight away

some settling in/implantation style pain can be normal at this stage, and also some ovarian pain can be normal (one sided pain) where the corpus luteal cyst that is providing all the hormones is growing before the placenta takes over. it can cause small amounts of pain and bleeding, start to go about 10weeks in, and most have disappeared by 16weeks.

however, the pain you are describing seems more severe, is it cramping style pains? like period pain? it could be that you are just more sensitive to pain right now, but i'd get checked out, see a GP who can refer you to an early pregnancy unit as most midwives cannot refer you anywhere until later on.
