stomach pains while pregnant?

[Meghan447]

i just found out i was pregnant only a week ago, so that only puts me at barely a month pregnant, and last night i was talkin to my husband and i started getting a pain in my lower stomach just to the right of my left pelvis, it wasnt ridiculously uncomfortable, i guess the best way to explain it was almost like heart burn in my stomach. if i layed on my right side it only got worse, if i layed on my left it faded but was still uncomfortable and if i layed on my stomach it was the same, the only way to get really comfortable was if i sat all the way up, but i couldnt sleep like that. it lasted for about 20 minutes then faded, i was just wondering if this is normal. this is my first pregnancy and that scared me...

I agree. You don't want to ignore pain that may be ectopic.

Some degree of stomach pain is normal during pregnancy.  You do need to watch this though - any time you experience one-sided pain in early pregnancy you need to call your doctor if it progressively gets worse or persists.
