just take it easy and its no possible way she can have a miscarriage because of stomach pains unless she is bleeding while having stomach pains so just relax everything is just fine but if does gets any worse call your doctor .

Just make sure and take it easy today...I know its hard considering what your going through but rest your body and take slow deep breaths when you feel yourself getting worked up.

I don't want to worry you but stomach pains could mean a miscarriage. You should call your doctor ASAP

Doesn't sound like braxton hicks...the pain wouldn't move to Your back with those. Are you still in pain now? Call l&d just to be safe

The fact that it goes into your shoulder it sounds like muscular pain. Also it's only on 1 side? I would say muscular but call your doc if it keeps up or gets worse.
