I'm about 1 month pregnant and I'm having "bar" tummy aches from side to side and/or "fixed spot" at the ovary that goes to the kidneys. Is this normal?

Hello Ma'am,

Unfortunately it is hard to say where these pains are coming from, but at first glance they do not seem to be normal. I'm not sure what you mean by ovarian pain that extends to the kidneys.

Mild abdominal pain can be normal considering the body is making room for the fetus. It is also possible to have ligament pain which is described as a stretching or uncomfortable feeling in the lower abdomen following physical exertion, long walks or simply after moving.

However, since your felt pain is described as having a "bar" or "fixed point", it would be safer to get medical advice from your doctor to ensure the pregnancy is going well. I would advise you to make an appointment today with your doctor for an evaluation.

I hope I have guided you in your next steps,
