Shoulder pain...anyone have any ideas!!!!????

[motherofan18month]

since sunday i have been experiencing shoulder pain in my left shoulder, it went away wednesday and came back yesterday but was in both shoulders and today it is just my left shoulder...i have heard of shoulder pain with ectopic pregnancies but i know there is nothing in my tubes...because the baby was found in my uterus at my ultrasound so could anyone else explain why i keep getting this shoulder pain! oh and to add that i have off and on back pain in my kidney area....if that may be linked??? i have an appt. monday but i thought i would ask just in case it's nothing to be worried about or something i should let my doc. know about???!!!

it's right shoulder pain for pre clampsia. i think it's due to pregnancy as i have a lot more aches and pains too.

I've havent have shoulder pain, but I dis have savear pain in the kidney area. They did u/s for kidney stones, and it was all fine besides that tube that connects kidney was enlarged - doctor said that most likely it's due to baby leaning on my back. I started sleeping on the floor and air matteress and it helped, pain slowly went away - I am back to my bad now.
Pregnant women get so many pains and there is no cure for most of them.
I've been advised to drink a lot of water to clear my system...
I think if your pain is really bad you shoul call nurse on call or doc on call in your doc's office.

i talked to my mom about it and she said baby could be lying on a nerve, but would the baby already be putting that much pressure on a nerve at only 13 weeks and 2 days???

i was told ages ago that pregnancy can cause discomfort and pain in the kidneys...something to do with tubes kinking. if i remember rightly, i was pretty early on in pregnancy when the midwife told me that

Pain in your shoulders can also be from your gall bladder.  I would let your doctor know if you have any increase in heartburn, nausea, or abdominal pain.  I do know that I"ve had some different pains since being pregnant.  My neurosurgeon warned me about sciatic pain in the second trimester.  Maybe baby is just high up and pushing on a nerve going to your upper back/shoulder area.  You could've pulled something too.
