Hello,
Intermittent sharp cramps are common physiologic finding experienced by many of the primi patients in their third trimester of pregnancy. These are Brackstone Hick contractions and absolutely normal, vanish within period of minutes. If persistent over a long period with or without leaking per vagina (gush of fluid through amniotic membrane rupture) then it would be a matter of concern to visit to OBGYN or ER, otherwise not.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
