I'm 8 days overdue and pregnant.

Congratulations. Abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy is normal. Generally, as long as you're not bleeding, there's nothing to worry about. Your ligaments and uterus are stretching, which can cause a cramping or sharp feeling in your abdomen. But if you have any doubts about whether the pain or symptoms you're experiencing are normal, always contact your midwife. They can examine you or refer you if necessary, and often reassure you quickly. No question is too silly for them, and remember that they're there for you and get paid for it .
