6 weeks pregnant, should I be worried about feeling in abdomen?

[Samdasayo]

Hello everyone,

I am almost 6 weeks pregnant and since about late last week I've had a feeling in my lower right abdomen which has been on and off.
On the first day that I started to feel it, the feeling started off as sharp pains when I would bend over. But the next day up until today, it just feels a bit like a pulled muscle / like something is there.
I wouldn't describe it as pain, more just a discomfort / light pressure?
It's hard to describe.

I have a doctor appointment booked on Friday as that's the soonest I can see the doctor I prefer, but I'm scared of this pregnancy being ectopic and was wondering if anyone else had experienced a feeling like this.

Thanks.

I had this, like sensations, pulls, pains with certain movements. There is a reason for it.. I forget if it's the baby getting more attached or I'm sure someone told me it was something to do with ligaments too. Sorry that's not helpful! Anyway, all perfectly normal. I believe ectopic pregnancies are very painful. I know it's hard but try not to worry.

I had feelings like that too and was worried about ectopic, I’m 9 weeks now and it seems to have passed. If you’re really worried I’m sure they’d check you at EPU. xxx

Could just be round ligament pain (which is common in early pregnancy), but if it gets worse, you have any bleeding or feel pain in your shoulder blades, please ask for an urgent appointment.

I thought I should update this in case anyone else reads this post!
For me there was nothing to worry about. It didn't end up being ectopic and I am now 20 weeks pregnant

Thank you so much for the update OP ❤ helped me x
