i only got my scan at 7 weeks because I was bleeding.  My first doctors appointment was set for 10 weeks and I dont think I would have been scanned then.  It is odd that you are 14 weeks with no scan though.  Were you offered the downs test?  That should have been at 12 weeks.  Anyway, it does sound like ligiment pains.

I agree, you need to see the doctor.  They usually will do the first u/s scan by 6-8 weeks.  But Kim is right on, it sounds to me like it could be round ligament pain.  It's very normal during pregnancy.  You have to remember how much your body is stretching and adjusting.  Your uterus is always expanding so you will get all types of aches and pains throughout your pregnancy.

anyways i know from the start of the second trimester all the way to the end i was feeling aches and pains all over! it could be your ligaments stretching
