Sharp shooting pains on one side?

Hi, everyone - hope you're all feeling great! Quick question - has anyone else experienced kind of sharp, shooting cramps off to one side? I'm 12 weeks today, and I've had these little cramps all along, which I figure are pretty normal, but last night these started, and still haven't stopped. I'm getting one of these little pains every minute or so... some are worse than others. No spotting or bleeding, though (keep your fingers crossed).

I talked to my doctor this morning, and he said it's ligament pains from things stretching and growing, so I felt a little better, but I'm just surprised that this has lasted almost 24 hours now.

Has anyone else felt something like this? And did it last a whole day? Thank you so much - just need some advice... thanks!

I'm only 6-7 weeks along, and have been having similar pains.

Any sharp pain in the sides can be ectopic. But if you have had an u/s and saw the baby, you're in the clear:)

They could be gas pains. When I was pg with ds, I had awful gas. (TMI)
