Normal: Pain felt along the sides of the abdomen is common during pregnancy, usually in the first and third trimester. Often described as a stitch-like pain on the right or left, it can take your breath away when it strikes. A possible cause is spasm of the round ligament holding the uterus in place. Breathe deeply and slowly and bend towards the pain. Talk to your Dr about a magnesium supplement.
