Is Shoulder Pain During Pregnancy A Cause For Concern?

I am 12 weeks pregnant with my third child, my gp picked up a heart murmur at my first appointment - and I'm now suffering pain in my left shoulder - I had an early scan at 6.5 weeks after some cramps and bleeding but baby in the right place with heartbeat present.

Haven't had follow up appt yet - is the shoulder pain something to worry about and should I see gp sooner?

Thanks

Hello,
As per the available information from your side, I would suggest you to go through ECG & echocardiography as early as possible. If that will be normal , then rest assured that you need not to worry about shoulder pain..it might be due to muscular pain , so u can apply analgesic gel over there...
Dont take any medicine without consulting your gynecologist or dont expose to any kind of xray exposure either...
Hope it vl help and be frank to ask any question to me anytime....
