Many pregnant women experience sharp pains in the vagina during pregnancy. In most cases it is normal for pregnant women to experience aches and even sharp pain in their vaginal area, normally beginning around their second trimester. You may keep having them until the end of the pregnancy.
The good news is that these pains are rarely a sign of a serious problem. They are usually caused by stretching ligaments and pressure from your growing baby on nerves in your pelvis. These kinds of pains last only a few seconds. They should not last for long periods of time.
