1st Trimester

5 weeks pregnant - shoulder pain!

Hello!
I am new here.
I am approaching 5 weeks pregnant with my first (4 weeks 6 days!)
Several days ago I woke up and my shoulder felt achy - almost identical to the feeling of getting a vaccine.
Has anyone else ever experienced this? Of course Dr. google scared me quite a bit.
I am hoping for an early scan to rule out an ectopic pregnancy. No other distinct symptoms - just general cramps and some nausea etc.
just really feeling scared!

  • Shoulder pain can be trapped gas. Muscle aches are also super normal.
    ive had an eptopic pregnancy and it hurt a lot, down by my hip.

  • Hi! Although it can be a symptom of ectopic pregnancy, I had on and off shoulder pain starting at 5 weeks and still have it at 10 with a confirmed intrauterine pregnancy. When in doubt, call your OB!
