Having this weird shoulder and neck ache since 2-3 days and my period is also late. Is it just stress or can it be a pregnancy thing? matlab i never heard anyone talk about shoulder pain so confused.
I had thyroid issues, so I was always regular with my doctor visits. When I had shoulder pain, my doctor checked everything to rule out any complications. If it's a persistent or sharp pain, please mention it to your gynac in your next follow-up.
My saas told me to put some warm mustard oil, but honestly, I was scared because I read about ectopic pregnancy. I called my gynac right away to confirm. Thankfully it was just muscle strain, but always ask your doctor first.
Beta, mild shoulder pain can happen due to posture changes as your body grows. You can apply a warm compress or use a comfortable pillow while sleeping. But if the pain is very sharp or sudden, please call your doctor immediately.
I just had my baby and had severe shoulder ache in my third trimester due to sleeping on one side. But if you are in your early weeks and have sharp shoulder pain, it can be serious. Please call your doctor and get a quick scan done.
My mother-in-law said shoulder pain is just because of sleeping in the wrong position during pregnancy. But my doctor warned me that severe shoulder tip pain in early weeks can sometimes be a sign of ectopic pregnancy. Please get it checked by your gynac to be safe.
I totally understand how worrying every new ache can be during this time. Mild pain can just be muscle fatigue, but please don't ignore sharp shoulder pain, especially in early pregnancy. Let your doctor reassure you so you can stay peaceful.
