5.5 weeks pregnant from IVF

I have a nearly constant 'tugging' feeling on my bikini line. Right side only. Its very specifically in one spot the whole time. Been like this for past 7 days. Is this normal?

Yeah I had this. A slight pully feeling

I had this. Weird feeling, isn't it? I think its normal. I have a healthy 4 year old now. Smile

Yeah, that's very likely ligament stretching pains - I had it on and off for months as the baby grew. It can be really sore if you sneeze!

Mention it at your next appointment just in case but it sounds very normal to me.

I have this! I'm 4+3 and last night I coughed and it felt really tight and sore for a moment. Right side only for me too.

I had this too. When you are pregnant, your ligaments become slightly more flexible, in order to allow your body to adjust with the growing baby.

This can also mean your feet go up a size during pregnancy, and may not go back afterwards (had to throw all my shoes away)...

I had this too, exact same spot and time

It is normal. I also had it during my pregnancy. I had a smooth pregnancy with no serious issues except little pain due. It was in my 8th month. I was so worried of miscarriage. But thanked it didn't happened to me. I only used folic acid pills and vitamins. I took large amount of dairy products and fruits. A little of nuts, dry fruits. I think it helped me a large for my smooth pregnancy. My labor pain was also so little that I hardly knew it. It was just like little back pain. I don't know about it. My midwife asked how could I bear it with so calm. It was really amazing experience for me.
