I am sure I am just over thinking this... side pain

kdearbaugh

This is my first pregnancy, I am six weeks along.  For the past week I have been experiencing left side abd pain ranging from a 1-4.  It ranges from my lower rib to my back, sometimes extending to my lower left abd right above my hip bone.  I have read it could just be gas, and I am sure I am just being a worry wart, however due to it's consistency I am starting to worry.  Anyone else experience this?  Should I be concerned?

 

P.S. this is the second draft of this post, my adorable, ornery little puppy just deleted the entire previous post. :P

Sounds like gas. Can always call your physician if you're worried. I hope it dissipates soon.

It also sounds like gas to me, too. Have you increased your water intake? You could be a little dehyrdrated leading to some little pangs and twangs.

I was thinking it was gas, so thank you both for reassuring me.  I have just upped my fiber already hoping to fix that, lets hope for a  change soon:) and yes I am drinking water like a fish, at least 3-4 of the large smart water bottles a day, not enough?  Thank you both once again, I really appreciate it, I am totally clueless and internet research can lead you around in circles.

That sounds like pretty good water intake! If you are concerned, definitely toss your ob nurse line a call and I'm sure they would be happy to help.

I have found that 1part aloe juice 3 parts pomegranate juice on an empty stomach first thing in the morning will regulate and help with gas
