Anyone else experiencing pinching on one side?

Question

I'm 4w6d with my second baby and have noticed a pinching and sometime crampy pressure near my left ovary. Nothing too unfortable and I wouldn't consider it painful. I don't remember this with my last pregnancy so obviously I go to the worst case scenario! 😘 Anyone else experiencing something similar?

Answer

I was experiencing the same thing around 5 weeks and when I went to the doc for my first ultrasound shortly after, there was a cyst on my left ovary where I was experiencing the one-sided cramping. Of course prior to the ultrasound I had convinced myself it was an ectopic pregnancy...bc that's what I do! Turns out, according to my doctor, the side that you ovulated from when you got preg creates a cyst which releases hormones until about weeks 10-12 when it goes away and the placenta takes over that job. Hope this helps!

Answer

I have this and my nurse mentioned that as long the cramping isn't as painful as period cramps and the cramps comes and goes, it's normal. As long as it's tolerable you're fine :) Hope that helps a little!

Answer

I get it on my left side too.  I don't remember feeling it as often with my last pregnancy but I do remember it.  It should just be round ligament pain.

Answer

I have that too but on both sides, it comes and goes but it is less frequent now... anybody has that on both sides? I am thinking that it could be the ligaments getting ready to stretch...

Answer

I have been feeling this too! A tiny pinch/cramp then it's gone. I have also been extremely bloated and gassy so I'm thinking it may be that? I dunno.

Answer

Same! I never noticed with my first either...when I was ovulating I didn't even make the connection of the pain with ovulation until this app told me what was happening (I just thought I was getting a sharp cramp). But now 4+ weeks in I still occasionally get that same pain, same side too 🤔
