Hello all, I'm new to these forums. I am about 7 weeks pregnant with my first child. I am very anxious about all of this. And I can't stop from worrying.

I'm not having much morning sickness, just a constant nausea (controllable with ginger ale and all), and some other symptoms, especially fatigue.

Yesterday when I got home from work, I noticed this real tenderness on my right hand side, right near where my underwear band lies. Sometimes, I get it on the left side too, but it's a very noticeable tenderness, not painful, and it does not last for days a time, but comes and goes for hours at a time.

It's really concerning me, but my Ob/gyn won't see me until I've gone past two missed periods. I have an appt. scheduled March 13th.

Is this pelvic tenderness a bad sign? Or could it be my uterus and stuff stretching and getting ready? I want to relax and feel good about the baby, but I can't stop myself from getting all worked up over this.

Any advice would help!
