    Question Niggling pains in lower abdomen

    I remember having stretching pain and what not with DD early on in pregnancy. But this time it seems to be more localised to one side. Im petrified of having an ectopic and hope this isnt what it would be. The pain comes and goes and is only sort of a dull ache.

    I have just recovered from a bad cold where i was sneezing alot and putting strain on my abdo muscles by trying not to sneeze IYKWIM. Im hoping its just a strained muscle or something??

    I cant get in to see my OB for another week, so only other alternative is ER which seems a little drastic at this stage.

    What do you think, any comments would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I had pains on my right side mostly and when i had really bad cramping one day i went straight to hospital and they did a scan and everything was normal. They couldn't explain the pains just said they were growing/stretching pains.

    WHat side are your pains on?

    It sounds just like growing/stretching pains. Does it hurt when you press down?

    Thanks for your help, i really appreciate it!

    No pain when pressing down. Just like an on/off kind of stitch.

    Thats completely normal. The doctor in emergency said they can usually tell if its ectopic as its very tender. But i would request a scan just to put your mind at ease

    And no worries i know what its like to feel pains and freak out
