Stomach / pelvic pain

I know that some amount of stomach ache in pregnancy can be expected but its just today i've had a pain on the left side around where my ovaries are i think (so quite low down) . I see the midwife tomorrow so obviously i'll ask her advice then but until then i was wondering if anyone else had this ? I am 14weeks.

I had so many aches and pains early on in my pregnancy it's very normal. Have you had a scan? What kind of pain is it? As long as you're not bleeding and it's not period type cramps with blood then I'm sure it's fine:)

i did at that stage and the doctor said it is normal for the body to stretch and move but to keep and eye on any different discharges that may happen. hopefully that helps you.

oh honey, i can sooooo identify. Right now I am in physical therapy due to my hips being twisted and uneven, so the pain is ridiculous.

The advice you have been given is good advice. Exactly the same thing my midwife kept telling me.

My thoughts are with you.

At around 14 weeks I started having 'round ligament pain' which is just the ligaments stretching in the area that you described. I couldn't stand up, sit, walk, pee, etc. without pain. It went away after a while and hasn't come back. You could look it up on line and see if that's what your feeling--totally normal by the way. Hope you're feeling better.

Yep had the same here too. I got stretching pain in the same side that I get ovulation pain at about that time too.
I remember how paranoid I was during my first pregancy. I think I was at the drs every time I had just a little niggle! I'm not so bad this time round though.

Its your ligaments and muscles stretching, i got it every so often and lasts for couple of days at a time when it comes, im nearly 35 weeks and last week i had it for about 3 days and its always on the left side, very annoying! you've got a lot more to come hehe :-P

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

    I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
