Im around 14 weeks and getting this dull pulling pain on the sides of my belly, mostly when I stand up or turn in bed. Its not severe but it makes me anxious every time. I do plan to mention it to my gynac at next visit but wanted to know if others felt this too?
I had a lot of mild cramping and gas pains, specially early on, and it was usually nothing serious. Warm water and small meals helped. Still, if pain is strong or with spotting, please call ur doctor at once.
Mild belly pulls and aches are common from the growing uterus and stretching ligaments, totally normal for most. Gas can cause it too. But sharp, severe pain or pain with bleeding needs ur gynac right away, dont ignore that.
First, its okay to feel worried about every twinge, i was the same. Mild aches are often just the body stretching. But if anything feels intense or wrong, ring ur doctor, it helps the anxiety too.
Light stretching pain is usually fine, but i'd never ignore severe or one sided pain, or pain with bleeding. Those need a doctor immediately. When unsure, just ring ur gynac.
