I wouldn't worry. I was having really bad cramps on one side and was freaking out about it. Because it was just one side then the pain moved to the other. If you start cramping really bad with blood is when you need to call the ob about it possibly being ectopic. To me it sounds like your sleeping wrong. I have been doing that a lot And have pain from it also. Good Luck with everything and a happy nine months. I understand the fear of loosing too I miscarried twins a year ago and only with clomid was I able to get pregnant again.

I had an ectopic and experienced rust color spotting constantly almost a week after my positive(enough to make me question and aware it wasn't normal). I never experienced pain on my shoulder or anything, not to say its like that for everyone but I think you are okay until you get to your OB. However, if you experience extreme doubling over pain then I would get to the ER. Good luck and happy 9 months!

Thanks for the replies and the good wishes. I think unless I get really terrible cramps or see any bleeding then I will just try to relax about the whole thing. I think I'm just very paranoid and wary after the MC.
Good luck to you both :) x

Hey I'm also 5 weeks, I've had the same but both side of my neck, I'm not worried, as I put it down to our ligament just going all soft, because of the hormone surge! And possibly sleep extremely heavy! So much so I don't move for hours! I've also noticed when I feel around those muscles I can feel slight knots, I just work them out a little bit, which alleviates the pain and it's gone xxx

I suffered am eptopic back in December 2013 the pain is awful to the point it took my breath away I was dizzy too I did suufer shoulder pains too but it was pain which hurt when I breathed the pain was in the top of my arm shoulders and not the shoulder blade I think you might be sleeping funny but always best to seen im now 4 weeks pregnant again .
