Normal feeling?

I am on my week 10 pregnancy however recently I find that every now and then there is this sharp pain but just a short while near the right abdomen area. Had seen the gynae in week 9ish and everything is fine. I have multiple fibroids and wondering if it's cus my baby is pressing against it.

Hey, I think sharp pains at week 10 with fibroids are actually quite common, a lot of mums with fibroids experience that kind of cramping as the uterus stretches and the baby grows, especially if a fibroid is in the way. Since your gynae gave you the all-clear recently, it's likely just that stretching sensation, but honestly, the good news is you don't have to wonder on your own, sharp pains are worth a quick call back to your doctor just to confirm it's nothing else, even if it's just for peace of mind. They'll know your fibroid situation best and can tell you exactly what's normal for your pregnancy. Most mums I know with fibroids sail through fine once they know what to expect, so try not to stress too much about it.

I don't think it is your baby as the baby is still really small at 10 weeks. Could be round ligament pains since it doesn't last. I had similar experience when I was week 10 too, baby had no issues during follow up check up.
