apendicitis during pregnancy?

I'm 7 weeks pregnant and I've  been having cramps on my entire right abdominal side. I have had a miscarriage before so I'm really paranoid about something going wrong with this one. I was told its either gas cramps or my appendix. How can I tell the difference between the two?

It could be, but it could also be an ectopic pregnancy. You need to see a doctor and have that checked.

It could also be round-ligament pain.  See a doctor if the cramps get really painful.  One way to know if it is your appendix is that your white count could go up.
