Left side pain. 22 weeks

I have had somewhat sharp pains on my left side the past few days.. I chalked it up to gas. Which I do seem somewhat gassy? Since it was just the holidays I thought maybe I ate something that upset my stomach. I have been having bowel movements more than usual(it’s not much when I do) so I’m thinking it’s not constipation.?? I noticed my stools seem looser and almost watery... so maybe that’s it? But could this just be growing pains? First time mom and I have no idea what to expect. My next appointment isn’t until Jan 8th. Thanks for any advice or help :)
