What Could Hip And Groin Pain During Pregnancy Suggest?

I am 8 1/2 weeks pregnant and have a pain in the area around the top of my leg/hip and groin. I had a scan yesterday after some spotting that showed everything was fine and clearly saw heartbeat but am still worried. Should I be worried or is this okay?

HI,
Thanks for the query I do understand your concern.
The pain in hip / groin in 8.5 weeks of pregnancy with spotting .. can be-
- Mild uterine contractions that caused the spotting.. If it's so, it would subside with the pills of hormone progesterone your doctor must have advised to support your baby,
_ IT's round ligament pull.. which is common in early pregnancy. It goes automatically, as round ligament loosens with pregnancy hormones/ needs medications ( Acetoamenophen )/ pregnancy yoga exercises help.)
- Pressure of growing pregnancy on femoral nerve can cause such pain which can be relieved by medicines/ growth of baby relieving pressure.
Thanks.
