Are you pregnant?

Yes, I had an ectopic pregnancy on my left. It was niggly on and off pains and one day it ruptured and I had to have emergency surgery. So if you're pregnant get seen ASAP.

@Reena yes I am, did you just go to a&e? I rang 111 4 hours ago and they still haven’t called me back :(

I went to A&E. I was very sick. At this time if you're stable you might as well wait till morning, speak to GP and get referred to emergency obstetrics or you could attend an A&E in the morning.

@Reena thank you, I’m really anxious now. It comes and goes I had it two nights ago and then tonight but throughout the day I’m fine it’s weird. Will call gp in the morning and hopefully get somewhere :(

You can ring the early pregnancy unit or go up to A&E please do not leave pains unchecked this early on! The quicker you can get checked the more reassurance you’ll feel! The pain on your side is it sharp or a dull ache?

@Amiee my early pregnancy unit doesn’t open till 2pm :( they’re a dull ache that come and go , should I be worried. ? Xx

A dull ache that feels a little like period cramps can be normal! So try not to stress I would take yourself to A&E as that is likely what 111 will advise you to do if it is still not any better. Are you having any back pain etc with it?
