I've had this dull ache in my lower abdomen for 2 days now and my periods are slightly delayed. Trying to figure out if its actually a sign or im just reading too much into it. Pls share ur experiences.
I had an ectopic pregnancy earlier where abdominal pain was the main symptom, so I am always very cautious. Please don't ignore severe or sharp pain and consult your doctor immediately to get an ultrasound.
Please be very gentle with yourself. Mild cramping can happen in early pregnancy, but because of my past experience, I always advise seeing a doctor immediately if you feel pain. It is better to get checked for peace of mind.
Abdominal pain can mean anything from gas to implantation. If you missed your period, take a home test first. But if the pain is sharp or heavy, skip the internet and go straight to your doctor.
I am also planning right now and keep tracking every single cramp! I've read that mild stretching pain can be a sign, but severe pain is a red flag. Let's hope for the best and consult a doc if it hurts too much.
I always believe in checking with your gynac first for any kind of abdominal pain. It could be normal stretching or something that needs attention, so please call your doctor's clinic for safety.
