6 and a bit weeks, have a painful twinge on one side

It doesn't hurt too much, and it's not a constant pain. It's just a wee twinge every minute or so.
If I cough it hurts a bit as well.
I'm worried about the possibility of ectopic, but have no other symptoms.
Should I see if I can get hold of the community midwife (not sure of the number though and she is a hard lady to get hold of) or should I head to the nearest EPU (you can self refer)

Also wondering if anyone else has had this kind of pain

TIA

I had a stabbing pain to my right which turns out to be a large cyst.. I was told any painful twinges or pain to get checked out especially if it's to one side.

You should get it checked out just in case. But rest assured twinges can just be ligament stretching. In fact I had more one sided pain with my current pregnancy (healthy so far at 32 weeks) than I did when I had an ectopic.

My EPU us self-referral (St.George's in SW London) and know they would tell you to check things out if worried.

most people do get pains when baby implants around this time, and from what I can remember, can even be in both. Wouldn't worry too much, but mention it to your mw or even give your gp a ring :)
