Side pains? UPDATE at bottom

I'm almost 21 weeks and yesterday (right after my doctor's appointment where everything looked good) I started having these pains in my right side. At first I thought it was gas (sorry if TMI) - it had me pretty much doubled over. Now it is a but duller, but still there. It is on my right side kind of parallel to my hip bone. Could it be round ligament pain? My doctor said I could come in for an ultrasound if I'm worried. What do you guys think?

I've heard that pains like that are normal, but honestly I don't think for that long. I think you'd better go in for the ultrasound, even if it's just for the piece of mind. It will make you feel better.

I would say its ligament pains... From week 20- 24 the baby grows a lot so that could be what you are experiencing...
Go in for an ultrasound though, just to make yourself feel better... Plus you'll get to see the baby again!!!

All is well. I went for an ultrasound and the baby's little head is pushing against my side and causing little braxton-hicks contractions. She said this is totally normal, but because I am thin it may be causing me more discomfort. Anyway, I am very relieved and now I know that this is welcome discomfort. So many little aches and pains in pregnancy!!!
