Pregnancy Pains
I found out last week that we are expecting #2...and we are sooooo excited about it. I have been having some really bad pressure pains on my right hip side and am really worried that this could be a tubal. Has any mothers out there experienced anything like this???? Any responses will be great!!!
Thanks,
J.
So What Happened?™
I wanted to Thank all of you for your responses. I did go to the doctor today for an sonogram and they could see a little spot that they are 90% sure is the sack in my uterus. I am suppose to go back next week to make sure and hopefully be able to see and hear the heartbeat. We are so excited about this but also so very scared that something could happen!!!!! It has taken us about 2 years for this one and it took us 6 years for our daughter so please keep your fingers crossed for us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I appreciate it!!

Congrats! I am pregnant with my first and I was very concerned because I have had a miscarriage before. I went straight to the Doctor with the same pain and everything was fine-- I'm now 15 weeks and we just found out it is a girl. She told me that when things are moving around there can be pain, just as long as there is no bleeding.
good luck! J.

It is probably just ligament pain. It happens earlier and is a little more severe with each pregnancy. Go see your doc to put your mind at ease.
Congrats on #2!

I would talk to my doc about it, but I also had these pains, and it turned out to be nothing. I was freaked out about the tubal thing too, but I guess it was just ligament pain. Good luck and congrats!!

I got the same pains when pregnant. It turned out that a cyst on my ovary had ruptured. This is very common during pregnancy. Pray about it and then go to the doctor and talk about it. It is probably nothing. Good luck.

The most important thing to do is go to the doctor. I have had two tubals both requiring surgery. Tubal pregnancies can be life threatening... so you should just call your doctors office and ask them to give you a sonogram to see that the baby is in the right place in utero. Best of luck.

Hi J.,
Check with your doctor first, but it sounds similar to what I had with my two youngest (18 months apart). It turned out my sacral nerve was out which caused my hip to rotate. I waited till my baby was 7 months old before doing anything about it and now go to a chiropracter 3 times a week trying to get it fixed. Stay on top of it. My ob recommended a chiro that worked with pregnant women but I never took the time.
Good luck.

First of all, when in doubt GET CHECKED OUT! I had a lot of sciatic pain with my pregnancies. Hopefully, it's just something like that. But, please, let someone with medical training check you out (midwife, doctor, etc.).

Congrats! When I was pregnant with both of my kids I had lots of problems with my syatic (i'm not sure of the correct spelling) nerve. It's the nerve that runs down the back of you buttucks and down both legs, I'm not sure if it runs down your back, too. Most of the time I felt the pain in my legs, and other times the pain would be all over from my hips down. It is very painful at times. I would double-check with you doctor, though. Good Luck, I hope this pregnancy goes really well for you.

Always call your dr when you are pregnant and experiencing any pain. Tubal pregnancys if it ruptures, will destroy your tube so please call the dr.

Go to your doctor soon to make sure nothing is wrong if you feel something may be. My sister-in-law had a tubal and it ruptured her fallopian tube. Very painful for her and luckily it didn't completely ruin her fallopian tube. Her doctor said if they would have caught it early enough they could have prevented the rupture which can ruin that tube completely! Go to your doctor and have it checked out even if it might be nothing!!

Jen, you could possibly have a kidney or UT infection. I suggest going to a doctor to have a urine test done, you may need some antibiotics to clear it up.

Are the pains actually on your hip or more around your right ovary ? It could be the pregnacy cyst that everyone gets. Whichever ovary pushed out the egg that was fertilized develops a small cyst on it and it can cause pain. The cyst goes away on its own and the pain is usually felt in the first trimester. I had that pain with all of my pregnancies.
Talk to your OB and see what she/he says. You can get a vaginal ultrasound to make sure it isn't ectopic.

I had the same problem with my second, it was sciatic pain. It continued through out most of the pregnancy and I still sometimes have problems (my daughter is about to turn 2). It got so bad that I could barely sit but at about 7 months she shifted and it let up for the rest of the pregnancy.
Hope this helps

if it is a tubal and ruptures then you will be in trouble. Call your doctor and make another appt asap. I was pregnant several years ago and the tests kept coming back negative and was still having the pains and they did not find out i was pregnant till my tube ruptured and then i had to have an emergency hysterectomy. please go to the doctor just to be safe
.
sorry did not see your newest post before i responded.
but it is good that you went back.

I know there is a nerve in that area that can be pinched during pregnancy but I'm not sure if that is suppose to be during later stages or if it can happen anytime during the pregnancy. Definetly talk to your OBGYN! Congrats!

If it is your hip then it might be your sciatic, I had that with both pregnancies and it brings you to your knees when it acts up. I had a pre-natal massage and told the masseuse and she worked on it and I never had the pain for the rest of my pregnancy. However, confirm with your doctor that is what it is first.

hi J.
When i was pregnant, i experienced a lot of that same pain..it was from pressure on my lower spine...on my ciatic nerve so i started seeing my chiropractor. If you don't see one, i can give you the name of mine, i live in Flower Mound. Seeing a chiro during prego days can help with labor pain!! :)
let me know!
