Hey ladies. TMI bowel question.

Okay so has anyone else been constipated in early pregnancy to the point of it causing you stomach pain higher up? I am 5w1d and at first I was pooping like crazy and now I can’t seem to get much out and I’ve started having pain on the right side of my stomach. I’ve looked up things (which is never a good idea) & read about appendicitis and all this other stuff. However, I noticed when I do go poop it feels way better and then when I feel like I have to go some more that pain or ache comes back. I guess it’s not really a pain, just uncomfortable. Sorry this is kinda gross and tmi but hey that’s pregnancy, right? Thanks!
