Having this sharp pain on my right side since yesterday and im a little scared honestly. Im 22 weeks. Planning to call my gynac in the morning but wanted to know how they even figure this out when pregnant.
My doctor always told me that any sudden, severe localized pain that doesn't go away needs immediate ER evaluation. Don't stress too much but do get it checked by a medical team right now for your and baby's safety.
Diagnosing appendicitis requires an ultrasound or MRI and blood tests, which only a hospital can safely do during pregnancy. Please call your gynecologist immediately as delay in these cases can lead to serious complications.
Oh dear, if you are having severe pain, please don't wait at all. I have heard from my family that any sharp abdominal pain should be checked by a doctor immediately to be completely safe.
Appendicitis can't be diagnosed at home or through diet, it requires proper medical scans or blood tests. If you are experiencing heavy vomiting or acute right-side stomach pain, please contact your gynac right away.
Gosh, that sounds really serious and painful, definitely not like normal pregnancy gas or food cravings. Please skip all online search queries and rush to your doctor or hospital immediately to get it diagnosed!
I read that appendicitis in pregnancy can have slightly different symptoms because the baby pushes things around, making the pain appear higher up. Did you contact your doctor yet? It's really important to get a professional scan.
