Hi C1404,
A whispered congratulations on your pregnancy. I know how hard it can be in the early stages of pregnancy following our ectopic experiences. I’m not medically qualifed and am unable to comment upon the reasons for the pain you are experiencing, but as you mention, we can feel pain in these areas following our ectopics. With early pregnancy, there is much change in the uterus and this also can cause us to feel pain or stretching. Of course, it’s important to monitor the severeity of this pain and if there are changes, to consult your GPs or seek immediate A&E assistance.
I know it can be difficult to relax through these early pregnancy periods. I always provide that guidance, but truely know how difficult it can be. As much as possible, try to do so, and know that we are here for as long as you need.
With good wishes,
Michele
