A Little Worried

[needhelp24121]

I'm a little worried.... I've had these weird pains really low the last couple days. Its kind of like a dull ache and then every once in a while it gets a little sharper. Sometimes it almost feels like something is being pulled on. It also feels really tight. I noticed the pain on the left side tuesday night and yesterday, then last night and today the pain is on the right side. I thought maybe it was just ligament pain from my uterus growing, but now I'm not so sure. I'm going to call my doctor tomorrow if it continues. Anyone else experience any pain like this?

I was thinking that it is the ligament pain because it has been changing sides. It will be on the left side for a while, then the right, then the left again. It feels more like a "pulling" than a "cramp." I'm choosing to stay positive and I'll just discuss it with my doctor next week.

I wonder if it's the "round ligament pain", where the ligament that kinda holds the uterus in place is being stretched from the growing uterus....? I know i had that around 9 weeks on to about 12 weeks or so and even still feel it now sometimes. Think it might be that?

Thank ladies!!  I'm just kind of concerned cause I haven't had any pain like this yet. My appointment is next Thursday, so unless I start bleeding or the pain gets worse, I'll probably just wait until then and talk to my doctor about it.

I'm 6w and have the same thing. The dr told me that cramping is pretty normal in early pregnancy. I also remember having the same thing when I was pregnant last time. It almost felt like period cramps at times. Good luck.

Cramps are normal in early pregnancy.
