Update... Light at end of tunnel doctor did say I'm at the point where the pains should stop happening ..... Hope she's right!!
I've asked my doctor several times as well, today is another appointment and I'm voicing my concerns again, to me the pain I'm having on my side is worse than labor pains I had with my first son. Also tons of pressure on my right hip all the time. So yeah I'd say it's normal but be persistent if it really is bad like mine. I'm 29 weeks. :0)
Sounds like round ligament pain to me, perfectly normal..although it can be a a little scary as can any ache or pain you experience throughout pregnancy.
I too get hip and side pain and occasionally it feels like my baby is trying to get out with the pressure I'm going into my 27weekmy doc told me that the discomfort is normal unless its in the vaginal area that is not I would just tell them what you are feeling just so they can check you. They checked me and made sure I wasn't dilated. Just to be safe
