Side pains?!

I'm 19 weeks and 6 days today and a couple days ago I started experiencing pains on the side of my stomach. I'll mention this at my 20 week scan in a few days but in the mean time thought I'd check whether this is normal and what it possibly means. I hope I don't sound like an idiot but it's my first baby so this is all new to me Confused ha ha.

Is it like a stitch? I got that a lot when pregnant and my midwife said it was normal. It was exacerbated by walking quickly!

I had this at 17wks until 22wks bad it was ligament pain it was a deep side pains made me think something was wrong but went to hospital & all was fine,im now 27wks and its been less but any streching etc i get it back
A pregnancy belt & maternity pillow helped me ,a warm bath helps too.

Round ligament, kidney infection, dehydration.

It’s on my right lower abdomen and I’d say it’s quite a sharp pain. I’m glad I’m not the only one to experience it, I’ve ordered a pregnancy pillow online so hopefully that’ll be here soon and will help.

How are you OP?

I’m good thank you, I’ve had my 20 week scan and brought it up, they reckon it is round ligament pain so thankfully it’s nothing serious.
