17 weeks pregnant and sharp right sided pain?

I’m 17 weeks pregnant today. Starting yesterday, I have been feeling a semi-sharp right sided pain that seems to come and go every couple of minutes. It doesn’t feel like a period like cramp but a small isolated spot on the right side right above my vagina. Could this be ligaments stretching. I heard the heartbeat on my fetal doppler so I know the baby is ok. Any simialr experiences would be great to hear. Thanks.

I can’t say I had the exact same pain, because I can’t feel it for you:). But I would describe it the exact same way, and it started at pretty much exactly the same time. Its very likely a ligament stretching, which was the case for me. However, if you’re concerned it doesn’t hurt to at least ask you’re doctors office. But you’re in a very busy growing stage, so lots of stretching and growing is going to happen during the next few weeks.
Good luck!
I had some of the same pain..you fell all kinds of different pains while pregnant…but on you next appointment you should talk to your doctor and let them know what is going on they will give you a better idea! take care
yes hun i had the same thing with both pregnancies,it will come and go,it’s just your body adapting to the pregnancy
I was running to the dr with every sharp pain I got! I think he got sick of me! As long as it isn’t constant pain (meaning it is continually there and at the same pain level), and as long as it fluctuates, or goes away at times, then you are fine. There are lots of strange things your body does while you are pregnant. If the pain is constant and you get bleeding with it - then that is cause for concern, otherwise its normal.
sounds like round ligament pain. I had that when i would try to move to quickly at times
