15 weeks and experiencing dull constant ache in my right side

[Anya1984]

Hello girls!
I have been experiencing this dull ache/pain in my right side for the last week that comes and goes but is more consntant....I called my nurse, left a message, I hope they can see me for an u/s, that would be great! It worries me because I still have no bump, not gained weight and now this pain.... is anybody else experiencing this?

Also, I was so surprised when I stood on the scale - I am still horribly underweight and have not gained a pound, is everything ok? I am 15 weeks already, and still weight 104 pnds!!

wow, your appt will be a week before mine!! How cool, another 4 weeks for you and 5 weeks for me...they said that they will not see me before 20 weeks, so I was forced to make an appt at 20 weeks...although I do beleive that the atanomy scan can be easily done at 19 weeks.....or well!!
I just really hope that the docs are right and the pains are just regualr ones that we shouldn't worry about..on the other note, if we all have the same pains, it has to be normal, right? I still feel the pains sometimes, it comes and goes!
I haven't gained any pounds and I hope i will soon!!!

Hi ladies!  Went to my Dr. today for my 15w chuckup.  He pretty much said the same thing that Anya's Dr. told her - just muscles -w hich is what I figured.  I didn't get an US today - just doppler, so I heard the little one's heart beat (~150) which was good.  The drew blood for the triple screen today, and I get to go back on Feb 10th to find out the sex (YAY!!!!!!!).  I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!  I had also gained back three of the five lbs I lost while I was sick - another good thing.  They did ask if I was feeling the baby move though, which shocked me.  I haven't - which they said is normal but that some women start feeling it early.

Well i'm glad you had a great visit to your doctors. A lot of times us women think every pull, or ache we feel in our tummy's is a bad sign. My doctor just told me its your body adjusting to your pregnancy. If you think about everything that's happening down there, it's treuly amazing and you're body just has to adjust to it.
It's a bummer to have to wait another few weeks to find out the sex. But at least now you can enjoy your pregnancy. And start noticing your baby bump. Also since you are petite already, i've heard it takes longer for you to show. But soon you won't be able to see your feet you'll be so big. lol
Good luck to you, and i can't wait to see posts of boy or girl!!!
Take care :o)

Hello girls, so here is my update:

So I went in today and they didn't want to do an u/s for me but I insisted....everything seems fine, the baby measures 10 cm or 3.9 inches and my uterus measures 14 cm which is consistent with 15 weeks....

They think the pains Im having  is ligament since its mostly on the right side ...I too feel it more when I move, or sneeze or even pee someties.....but again, they found nothing and so Im gong to relax now :) My next appt is at 20w2d, which is on the 17th of February, another 5 weeks!!! I have to start enjoying now....

Apperantly I do have a bump :) I just thought it was my stomach but part of my stomach is a uterus!! HAHA....and my bump is not very small, I barely button my pants (thinking of going and bying one of those belly bands...)....I asked why im not gaining any weight and they say I will...well let's see...

so now I wish to feel any kind of movements....Does anyone feel flutters? I don't know what to expect but I read that at around 16-17 weeks we might feel those so called flutters..

it was so cute, when we did u/s, the baby was sleeping and he was disturbed and start moving .....he was sleeping and sucking his thumb :) it was adorable...

Of course, the tech didn't bother checking the gender,  so I need to wait another 5 weeks...oh well. As long as the baby is ok, im fine!!

So girls, don't worry too much and if you are not very concerned, don't bother calling your doc, they wont do much for you...well, maybe they will but I had to win the battle about the u/s....which my insurance might not cover :(

it coule be growing pains or a uti I would make sure to have your urine cultured at your next app....I hope you feel better soon...

Hi ladies!  I'm sure all is fine with all of us.  I go for an appt in the morning, and I too have been having pain and aching on my right side - especially when I sneeze (weird).  So, hopefully we will all get good reports tomorrow!  Keep me posted!

ok...let me know what happens bc my pains are starting to worry me too, but they are just kind of random pains and not really constant so if i still have them in the morning, ill call and see what they say.

[Anya1984]

yeah, when nurse called back and I described what Im experiencing to her, she didn't say anything but said to move up my appt from Thur to tomorrow morning with a different doc.. she was a little concerned. So Im going to see this other doc tomorrow morning and will let you know after I see him. I hope everythig is fine, and I will have an u/s done to see how baby is growing.

yesterday i was having dull pains like in the center, where my uterus would be, and today it has turned into random sharp pains, also in the center of my lower abdomen. I was having round ligament pains but this is different, and it hurts randomly even if i am completely still. Hopefully it is normal, and i guess i will wait it out until my next appt on friday. Let me know what the nurse tell you when they call back.

I think u are fine. I havent gained any weight as of last week. The ache is probably stretching. You are probably fine.
