Hi ladies! I'm currently 15 weeks 4 days pregnant with first baby, all was fine at our 12 week scan and we've been told it's a low-risk pregnancy, I'm early 30s, generally healthy and fit. I have PCOS so some general dodginess in the region, and since I stopped the pill over a year ago have often had intense ovulation pain when it's the right side releasing - sometimes have been confined to my bed for hours at a time, collapsing on DH in the street etc. As a uni student over 10 years ago I ended up in hospital with severe pain on right side. Not an issue on left side. So basically right side has always been dodgy but nothing outside of small cysts on the ovary has ever been detected.
On Friday, what felt like my usual stabbing ovulation cramps on right side hit again and I was collapsed in bed all afternoon. The actual stabbing pain seemed to subside after a few hours. Our doctors are closed on Wednesday and friday afternoons (we're expats, not in uk) and when DH got home he called the hospital where we had the scan, they said if the pain comes back then go to A&E but if it's subsided and no bleeding then probably ligament pain from the baby growing.
The thing is, I haven't had the same stabbing agony again but I can feel again something sort of lingering in the area, I feel a twinge there when I sit down, stand up, sometimes walking etc like it's threatening to come back. We've now had 2 scans (12 week plus an early reassurance one at 8 weeks) and the baby is in the right place - otherwise I'd be worried about ectopic.
I suppose I'm just asking if any of you have had this, is it normal or should I be heading to A&E to get the hospital to scan me again? Last time I spoke to my doctor, I mentioned general cramps - like period cramps - which I've had quite consistently but nothing too terrible and she said it was normal. I suppose I'm questioning if this fits into that or if something bad has happened - but there's been no bleeding. Googling either tells me it's completely normal (as it seems every possible symptom is in pregnancy 😅) or that I've had a missed miscarriage. I think I just feel mad going to A&E now that the actual agony has been gone over the weekend. (Would be A&E as I don't think they do urgent appointments at my doc).
Sorry this is long - have any of you experienced this? Quite worried about baby but can't afford to take afternoon off clients to dash to A&E if im just being paranoid and PFB all the time (am self-employed). Am I being mad 🫣
