For almost a week now I've had a crampy, stitch like pain in just one spot on the right side of my belly, near my belly button but lower than it.
At first I thought it was just ligaments stretching or the fact I've had terrible constipation but I've been to the toilet just fine today (woo hoo for that finally ) and it's still there. To make it worse baby keeps kicking away at it.
The pain seems to be getting gradually worse and now it's really quite uncomfortable. Especially when I move around. I don't want to have to go to the doctors again as I feel like I'm always there or at the hospital. Could it still just be ligaments? The thing I was worried about is my appendix because I've heard it can start with constipation and it seems in the right place. To make it worse I've just taken a laxative (milk of magnesia) which you're not meant to do if you suspect appenicitis.
