     Topic: Dull ache lower left abdomen     Posted: 14 January 2008 at 10:24pm |

   Last topic for at least a few weeks I promise!
 
 Anyone else had a dull ache right down low on one side early on in pregnancy?  It's kinda constant...kinda dull stabbing...not major.  A few days ago it was the upper right side hurting, now the lower left so maybe ligaments?
 
 I've had an ache there on and off for years and years so I'm guessing it's just the hormones affecting it somehow.

   Me! I had all kind of pains, dull aches, really painful aches, stabbing pains, cramps... you name it, I had it. I even had bleeding and passing clots combined with cramps and stabbing pains!    Kate was determined to drive me mental before she was even born lol

   I had that kind of feeling a little later on in my preg and it was due to adhesion pains. Uterus was growing and trying to stick to internal scarring I had from previous appendix surgery...but yeah I guess if you have never had surgery before then that wouldn't apply :)

   I had pain on the right side and went to see my GP as I thought it may have been ectopic pregnancy. Had a scan and all was well. It turned out it was my right ovary that had released the eggie to become bubs but I'm still not sure why that would cause pain

   The more kids you have, the more stretching pains etc you feel - freaky at first though!

   I had cramping/aching on my lower right side, around where my ovaries are, with the gremlins and with this one, and when I had early u/s they showed that was the side I ovulated from.

   So much worse with Josh than with Andrew, not looking forward to it with the next one.
