Burning pain on upper right side at 21 weeks pregnancy

[Flowergirl89]

I’m currently 21 weeks and have a pain on the top right of my stomach that I can best describe as burning, prob due to stretching muscles. I had it in my previous pregnancy and it was so painful. Thankfully it just disappeared one day. It’s getting more frequent now and just wondering if anyone had something similar and some advice other than a bag of frozen veg on my stomach.

Epigastric pain like this could be muscular but can also be liver related, I’ve seen it as a symptom of pre eclampsia. Have you had a check up recently?

I think it could be muscular as pain sharpens when I laugh or cough. I have a check up on Friday and tbh probably nothing I can do but the pain is so bad

I had this and it was muscular, but I would still give your maternity unit a call and get checked. I wouldn’t wait until your next appointment. It’s most likely just muscle pain but pain under your ribs can be a sign of pre eclampsia. Better to be reassured by a professional than worry about it till Friday

Ok thanks! I’ll give midwife a call tomorrow
