Not likely: If it only hurts when you stretch it a specific way, and there are no other symptoms, that tells me your pain is more musculoskeletal in nature and not likely caused by something serious like meningitis, a herniated disk, or really not likely to be related to the actual pregnancy. Maybe you slept on it oddly or hold your head in a certain way. I don't think it is dangerous. Try massage and stretch.
