Can pain on right side of bump during pregnancy?

Question

I'm feeling a sharp pain on the right side of my baby bump sometimes. It's not constant but comes and goes. Can pain on the right side of the bump be normal during pregnancy?

I panicked so much when I felt a sharp pull on my right side, thought something was wrong! But my doctor told me it's just the uterus growing and stretching the ligaments. Totally normal, just don't get up with a jerk.

I am not pregnant yet but I am taking notes of all these symptoms for the future. I hope you feel better soon, please take plenty of rest.

I had similar sharp pains on my right side which my doctor said was just muscle stretching. After my C-section, I realized how much our bodies go through, so please rest well and change positions slowly.

Same here, it is usually round ligament pain. Try not to make sudden movements when getting up from the bed.

It's mostly round ligament pain, very common when you sit for long hours at work. Try using a maternity pillow and take short walking breaks every hour during office time to ease the tension.

Having PCOS made me worry about every single ache during my pregnancy. Right side pain can be normal stretching, but if it becomes severe or is accompanied by spotting, please call your doctor immediately just to be safe.

My baby is a naughty toddler now, but I still remember those sharp right-side twinges when I sneezed or stood up too fast! It's just your body making room for the baby, don't worry too much.
