Hi there,
I am 5 +4 today and last night I coughed in bed and got a massive twinge on right hand side wasnt mega painful but cramped up for a bit till I stretched out. I am now worrying as not sure if this is a sign of an ectopic? Xxx

Probably just ligament pain, it's quite common for them to twinge if you cough, stand up too quick etc. I've had it a lot especially in my second pregnancy as I think my ligaments must be a bit looser now Grin x

I get this when I sneeze in bed! It’s just where everything is softening and stretching, ligament pain. Very normal.

Not while coughing but I've had cramps and aches early pregnancy. Made me worry about mc as I had one before but everything was fine, I'm now 38wk.

It really doesn't mean anything so I know it's easier said than done but try not to dwell on any symptom except if you're bleeding obviously.

Thank you for the advice yes I need to think if no bleeding everything should be fine in there I have an 8 week scan I booked privately in 2 weeks just want to see everything is ok in there! My first baby xx
