Sharp cramping pain on right side

Anisah • Thu, Nov 17

Hi all

I am currently 6 weeks pregnant. Last night I experienced some horrible sharp cramping pains on right side near my hip and it spread to the middle of my abdomen too. It lasted about 5 minutes but honestly I’ve never felt anything like that before it was so painful 😓. Has anyone experienced anything similar and if so is there anything to be worried about? Don’t want to ring my GP as they don’t take much notice anything related to pregnancy…

Could be corpus luteum cyst. Everyone forms one from the ovary they release the egg from that month and it provides the progesterone and estrogen in the first part of pregnancy. If the cyst gets larger it can cause cramping. (I hurt so bad my first pregnancy I went to the er to find all this out)

Sounds like round ligament pain. Harmless to baby, but hurts like crazy. Avoiding jerking movements can minimize how often you feel the pain.

That’s made me feel a bit better but honestly last night I was thinking the worst as it was only 5 minutes but so unbearable 😢
