I'm 19 weeks pregnant. i've been having upper stomach pain and lrq pain. could it be appendicitis? tell me if you need more details. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See doc: Need further prompt evaluation. Especially if fevers, nausea, vomiting or increasing pain. Your pregnancy will alter site and presentation of appendicitis. Better to have it evaluated.
