Pressure in the groin isn't a common complaint from women early in their pregnancy -- it's much less likely than cramps and nausea. It's definitely worth mentioning to your doctor since it could be a warning sign of miscarriage, especially if it's severe or accompanied by cramping or bleeding. But if it's mild and you don't have any other scary symptoms, it's probably nothing serious. Ashley S. Roman, MD, ob-gyn and clinical assistant professor at New York University School of Medicine | June 16 , 2011 11:06 AM Q&A: Is it normal to have abdominal pressure? A lot of pregnant woman complain about abdominal pressure and usually this is something normal, however you must tell this to your doctor so he could make some tests. My aunt had frequent stomach pains while she was pregnant and had to make a candidiasis treatment,fortunately this did not affect the fetus in any way, now she has a three years old beautiful girl with no health problems. amyabel68 | November 22 , 2011 11:32 AM Want to participate?
