Pain concentrated on one side of abdomen?

Having random pains today but I don't think they're contractions because they're focused on the left side of my belly....fleeting, not crippling, but new to me for sure. Perhaps just baby moving around at a weird angle?

For what it's worth, I don't think I've had a *real* contraction yet, but I'm assuming I'd feel that kind of pain across my whole midsection - right?

    Last week, I was getting like a pressure pain on one centralized point.  It felt like someone was poking me with one finger and applying pressure.  I did notice it would come and go, like a pattern.  I thought they might have been contractions, but I've always thought they were felt along your whole midsection.  I asked my doc and she said it could have been contractions, could have been LO moving.  She wasn't concerned since I haven't felt it since.  Just keep an eye on it.  :)

    Where exactly is the pain? Is it round ligament pain? Is it centralized in one small area or like the whole left side? Could just be baby. Yes I think a contraction would be across your whole midsection (could be wrong- everyone is different). I have a ton of strong braxton hicks and they are sometime more intense on one side, though.

    I don't think it's round ligament pain....but it's not the whole left side. I'll keep watching it. I have a doc appointment Monday, too, so we'll see what she says!

    Well aches and pains are normal, so don't sweat it and use it as an excuse to put your feet up!

    Practice contractions or early labour pains CAN occur on only one side of the uterus. Oxytocin receptors might be more developed on one side than the other.

    I've been having a lot of pain on my right side in the middle of my torso whenever the baby is balled up over there. My grandma who is a retired nurse said that the baby is probably pressing on my liver. Maybe the baby is just squishing an organ on your left side.
