Now getting worried- pain

I posted earlier today about pelvic pain (lower left side)...it was sort of
nagging/annoying.

I am getting more worried because now it is really starting to hurt more. I
am not experiencing any bleeding. I am going to call the dr tomorrow (I
would now, but my only option will be go to the ER...whereas tomorrow I
could see my doctor).

Should I be worried? I can't imagine what is causing it. It is not a sharp
stabbing pain..it is more like a toothache- starts out dull and hurts worse,
kind of like squeezing slowly. If I put my finger on my belly button and
move about 3-4 inches to the left and then move it down to about where it is
;evel with my hip bone, that is where it hurts and only on the left side.
This does not feel like the normal growing pains of pregnancy. Another way
to describe where it hurts would be to say when I sit, it's on the left side
right where I "bend".

Can something be wrong, that would cause pain but not bleeding? BTW- I have
not been very active OR inactive...I can't think of anything I have done
that could have strained something or caused this. It feels like where my
endometriosis used to hurt me.

Sorry, I replied to your other post before reading this one. What you
describe does sound like stretching ligaments, but please do see a
doctor if you need reassurance.

I can only tell you that it sounds very much to the growing pains I
had during my pregnancy, particularly during the first and early
second trimester. In my recollection, everything that was clearly
one-sided was never worth worrying over. But that's just me, YMMV!

Just to let you know that I had that same pain but it was on the right,
I had it off and on for a few weeks, but one day I had it all day long,
now I hav'nt felt it for awhile..
It really sounds like the same thing you described..

knock on wood, it's gone....;-)

Hope this makes you feel a little better,
keep us posted...

did you call the dr.

Christine..;-))

I had a very similar pain to what you describe - also on the left side in my
first trimester. It felt worse if I was standing up or walking but better
(although not gone) when I was sitting.

I was told it was either constipation or more likely the uterus stretching.
Either way I was told it was nothing serious to worry about.

Hope this helps.
