Anyone else experienced sharp pain randomly in lower abdomen right side?

I was sat on my bed today and out of nowhere I felt sharp pain. It felt like a stitch on steroids. It's been on and off since just before 2pm. I called Triage and they said to take paracetamol and it could be musculoskeletal or how baby is positioned. It is such a shock and is worse most when I am sat up or try to lay down on my right side.

I woke up in the middle of the migjt with a sharp pain on my right side, it was gone in 10 mins or so (i was able to fall back asleep). My midwife told me that if it passes on its own then its most probably nothing to worry about

I had this the other day, one of my twins feet was stuck in my ribs and I literally couldn’t take a full breath🤣 try have a move around to see if it’s just positioning

I get it when I move sometimes 😭

I had this yesterday!! I never experienced it with my first and I was in absolute agony and got really worried. It passed within 10/15 minutes without any pain medication

I had this and went to triage for monitoring, when they pushed in that exact spot it was very painful but blood markers came back fine and internal examination also fine so was sent home and told maybe appendix or fibroid but baby is ok so they weren’t really bothered about my pain. It lasted just over a week before going, 3 of which I could hardly walk. Mentioned it to the sonographer the following week as I had a growth scan already booked in and she looked but there was nothing there and said maybe baby is pushing on my ovary catching them.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.
