Muscle spasm

[astewart13]

Hey,
I'm 6 weeks pregnant today, just had a painful muscle spasm on the right side of my tummy about half way down. I was trying to sit up at the time..... normal? Feel fine now, was defo a muscle spasm...

I had awful spasms throughout both my pregnancies. My midwife said it was just the muscles stretching. Try not to worry, ring your midwife tomorrow if you are worried.

I had this in first trimester, really painful actually! Also was sometimes like a stabbing pain. Hot water bottle helped me loads :-) hope it passes soon. (Ps 38 weeks now and have to say 3rd trimester has been a million times easier for me than the first so be kind to yourself).

Thanks for your replies, I messaged the midwife she said i might have caught a nerve, feel fine today!
On another note I'm a nurse and a patient I'm caring for today may have just got a D&V bug 😬 I've not told work I'm pregnant because people gossip and I want my loved ones to know first.... is it a risk to me or baby... don't want to add more risk of miscarriage, so frightened it could go wrong x

Depends on the cause of the vomiting and diarrhoea, I would absolutely tell work asap (managers should keep it a secret) but you need to make sure they put protection in place for you and baby :-)
