Cramps or ligament pain

When should i be concerned abt ligament pain? I have pain at the sides of my belly now at week 14,0 days. It has been ongoing for the past week on and off but more painful recently. Sometimes i let out wind too after the pain. It feels like a dull ache that squeezes, or a knot kind, pulsing sort from the inside. I also read that at 13-14 weeks the uterus / belly expand? Should i go to gynae? Thanks for sharing!

Ligament round pain should not feel painful but just a stabbing quick pain which is the stretching of your belly which will go away after a few seconds. The way you describe the pain sounds more like braxton hicks which normally starts in the 2nd trimester. Comes and goes for a few seconds and normally will go away when you change your position. Should not feel too painful. Or you could be dehydrated. Dehydration can also make your belly feel like braxton hicks so do drink up. If it is too painful, better see your gynae cos all the above I described shouldn't feel pain.
