Hi, I have gone through your question. Pricking sensation in the lower abdomen in pregnancy is mostly due to enlargement of the uterus, which causes stretching of the ligaments and stimulation of the overlying nerves.
If you are not having discomfort and pain in the lower abdomen, then this pricking sensation is completely normal.
I suggest you not to worry.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
