Don't really want to disturb my midwife unless I really need her. Could this be stretching pains or should I be ringing my midwife? It's quite uncomfortable when it comes like really sharp.

Your right? If it's really severe then get checked. Do you still have your appendix?

Yeah I do. That did cross my mind 😕 I will see how I go on. God I hope it's not that 😐

Hopefully just round ligament pains, I got them on my left which thankfully ruled out appendix but I did have to go to epu to rule out ectopic (was fine) though this was more the 6/7 week mark so not sure what the cut off date for that is

If it's sharp enough to take your breath away then call 111 and get their advice on what services are open today. I don't want to worry you but you need to rule out appendix and ectopic.

I had that, so bad I couldn't stand upright. I was told it was ligament pains but I also got signed off for a couple of days to rest (I was severely sick and battling on with FT work so it was much appreciated!)

Hi!

I wouldn't worry too much, I had sharpe pains around then too and still get them occasionally (11weeks now) but when I spoke to midwifes and had early scans they said that because the egg had come from the left ovary that would be the reason for the pain. The ovary swells up then eventually goes down again.

Chances are your egg just came from the right ovary. If it's really concerning you or you're doubled over in pain definitely speak to your midwife or speak to medical professional xxx

My similar plans were gas Blush

Hope it's similar for you x

I had this and it was bad trapped wind. But I did go for scan to rule out ectopic

Earlier in my pregnancy I a few days every now and again where what felt like my appendix really hurt. I’m 19 weeks now. Like other people have said, I think unless the pain really takes your breath away or gets worse quite quickly it’s likely to be pregnancy related. I got worried at first but it always goes away in the end :-) not had it for a good few weeks now. Good luck! X
