Pain and 15 weeks pregnant?

hello im 15 weeks pregnant now andim a little concerned about a little pain im having around my uterus on the right side when i turn on that side. my grandma used to be a an ob/gyn and retired a few eyars ago, i asked her about this and she said its nothing but im kinda worried. i dont wanna go to the doctor cause every time i go (even if only 2 weeks have passed) he will preform an echography/ultrasound to see the baby . i dont like this cause i think it might harm the baby and several people have told me that it can affect the babies hearing and ears in the long run. is this normal? its not like PAIn but its like pulsating and annoying discomfort sometimes more than others... it feels like the pain i used to feel when i was ovulating

Pain and 15 weeks pregnant?
Your uterus is expanding lot more in 2 trimester than first. You will feel the stretching and pain in your uterus or lower abdomen. It is normal as long as you don't have continuous sharp pain. In that case, you should get checked for appendicitis or any other complication. I wouldn't worry about little pain. I am going through it and my doctor said it is normal. If it bothers a lot, you should try heating pad, it works.





Also, Ultrasound does not affect baby. There are studies published that assures that ultrasound is safe for baby and pregnant mothers. My husband is a doctor and I like his educated view on ultrasound, I respect this technology which allows physicians to see any complications when they arrive. Its better to get tested and find out a problem sooner so you can fix it than late in pregnancy. It doesn't have negative affect any negative affect on the baby.





Good luck
Reply:its normal feeling...dont worry... you will be ok, and for the record, there is no proof of harm in a fetus's hearing from several ultra sounds.
Reply:Yes it is fine. They are just ligament pains. You are stretching, so don't worry. Trust your grandma, she knows what she is talking about.

Reply:don't worry. I'm14 weeks and going through the same thing on my right side, right above the hip. Yesterday on my way home from work, I would happen every time I tried to climb the stairs in the subway. It felt like the rubber band sting or like there was nothing holding my hip together. I was not concerned, cause I know it was the ligament





hang in there. we're in this thing together
Reply:I also had intense pains on both sides and STILL have them at 25 weeks. It's normal. My doctor tells me they are round ligament pains caused by everything stretching out! You have to make room for that little baby. Just lay down and try to relax and not move a lot whenever you experience the pains. They will go away. Sudden movements is what triggers it for me. You have to start slowing down now that your pregnant. Hope this helps and good luck!
Reply:I am 15 weeks too and I feel the same thing. It's very normal, and sometimes it can be worse at times. My doctor told me that you have to realize what you're uterus, and stomach muscles are going through- they are being streched and pulled every which way. So don't worry, we all feel it.
Reply:I am 15 weeks and 6 days and I get this as well. Its called round ligament pain...basically your muscles stretching to make room for baby. Its nothing to be alarmed about, but I was scared as well when I started feeling it and I called my doc. Thats what he said.





Good luck!
