Pain on right side

[sageybaby]

Im currently 35 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing severe pain down my right side from my rib to my hip, then occasionally spreading into my abdomen. This has been non-stop for over 24 hours now.

I have also been getting constant Braxton hicks contractions, sweating, headache and a cramp in my leg that won't ease. I have had a very smooth pregnancy so far, so unsure of what is going on.

Called hospital, they recommended I go see my doctor (was his day off) so seen a normal doctor who didn't even examine me and said I had gastro- told him I didn't think he was right as my symptoms were not gastro related.

I then called hospital again, midwife said to use a heat pack. If I still had pain tomorrow to call them. I feel as though no one is taking me seriously!

I've barely slept for 2 days, and am in constant pain- has anyone else had doubts about Medical advice given?

They sound like normal pregnancy symptoms unfortunately... i have the same pain on my right side and the doctor said its just sciatic nerve pain. The only thing that helps me is a ton of pillows in all different positions until the pain is gone. Your body is just sore. You're almost there though!

My doctor told me to do to l&d if I experience any pain in my rib area
