What Causes Stomach Pain In Third Trimester?

Hi. I'm in the beginning of my third trimester and today I felt this little sharp pain in my stomach. My mom pointed it out to me because I referenced it twice that it felt like my son was scratching me from the inside. It feels like a light but sharp pain and it's about my pinky length away from my belly button. This is my first pregnancy so I know a lot is changing but my mom said it didn't sound like anything she felt, but that was a while ago. It doesn't feel like that much but I'm just wondering what it could be. Could my son be scratching me? Thanks

Hi..
Thanks for choosing HCM..
Pain in the stomach in third trimester could be because of false contractions or due to stretching of the abdominal muscles.. Sometimes fetal movements may also cause a little pain and some kind of inconvenience..
If it persists do visit your obstetrician to make sure that everything is fine..
Take care and all the best for rest of your pregnancy and safe delivery..
