Hi, your doctor is very right in telling you not to worry. Slight pain and pricking sensation in lower stomach is common in early pregnancy. It is due to the muscles and surrounding layers of the uterus stretching to accommodate the foetus. The missed abortion you had in last pregnancy can be due to various reasons, which is unrelated to this pain.
