I've 16 weeks pregnant and i've been having pains when i walk on my sides next to my hip bones. is that cause for concern?

Hip pain: The pregnancy hormone Progesterone causes ligaments in the pelvis to relax. This can often lead to discomfort when standing or walking too long, but is considered normal. If your pains are only on one side, however, i recommend you see your medical provider about this, to be safe.
