help

Hi Ladies,

Over the last couple of days i have had really bad pain in my left hand side, just by my hip and it spreads up to my rib-kidney area. Also had some rust coloured spotting, im 7+3 with my second, i had spotting with my first at 9 weeks, so im coming here first to get opinions, before going to the dr.

Any advice would be gratefully recieved

Oh no

what a worry, i really don't know hon so not much help am I?!

Hope doc can shed some light and all is ok x

Hi hun

it could also be a urine infection - the symptoms tend to be more mild when pregnant so we can often miss them, so it's more likely they go up to ur kidneys.

spotting is so common i wouldn't fret. but i think it is always a good idea to go to the doctors to keep an eye on such things especially if it does turn out to be an infection, you'll need antibots.

let us know hun

Try not to worry

Hiya Karen,

It could just be implantation bleeding.

The pain could be related to anything. If you weren't pregnant and you had a pain on your side, you would put it down to indigestion or a stitch, or being full, or being hungry, or pulling a muscle.... You see what I am getting at? We all do it and I bet you did it last time too! It's because we're pregnant that we automatically assign pain to be pregnancy related.

Still, you should see your doctor ASAP just in case.

I hope everything turns out well.

Sending you lots of luck,
