Q: Right Sided Pain Very Early In Pregnancy

Hi. I am only about 4 1/2 weeks pregnant. Just took my home test 2 days ago, one day before my missed period. Today I am having right sided pain that feels like a really bad "stitch" in my side. The pain is not severe or overwhelming. I feel it is too early to be "stretching" as far as muscles/ligaments, but may be wrong. Has anyone else had this?

I know exactly what you are talking about. I started having that around 4-5 weeks in but I didn't know I was pregnant yet. It continued on until about 8 weeks when a felt this and every once in a while I still feel that now even though it is not as strong as it was.

Mention this to your doctor when you go for your appointment. I think it should be ok. I have read other posts of women asking the same thing. Everything is changing and starting to stretch in there.
As long as the pains aren't so strong that you can't stand them everything should be fine.

Just relax and try to take it easy.

It is probably just your ligaments stretching. It happened to me too. It will happpen to you again starting around the 5 or 6th month when the baby starts growing faster. No worries but still ask your Dr.

Hello

this could be very normal as every body else said. But if you start to having brown discharges, it is better to talk to your doc about it. Last month I got pregnant and I had pain in my right side. Actually I was unfortunate and didn't make that pregnancy. Because some time side pain is sign of ectopic pregnancy, which was for me, and I miscarried my baby in 5 week.

Most probably this is not the case most of the time, but it is good to be aware if you have either discharges or your hcg count is not as high as it should be.

Good luck

I am experiencing a small pain to the left of my belly botton, I am neraly 6 weeks pregnant and a little worried as I had a blighted ovum when I went for my 3 month scan back in June this year.
