Hello Doctor,

 

I’m 5 weeks pregnant and experiencing lower back pain, pain in the lower right side of my abdomen, and some abdominal discomfort. Is this normal at this stage of pregnancy, or should I be concerned?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

No, it is not normal at all. It's essential to get a scan to rule out any ectopic pregnancy or a pregnancy outside the womb. Ectopic pregnancy can be a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention. Please consult with your healthcare provider as soon as possible to ensure your safety.

 

Thanks
