Take a warm bath and drink plenty of water. You can also take tylenol as directed on the bottle with no ill effects for the baby. Good luck and sorry to hear that you are hurting.

It may be harmless and ligaments stretching as stated by a previous responder but at this early a stage precaution is the key. It is very easy to miscarry before 14 wks and also wise to make sure that your not optopic. Good luck dear, It sounds like ligaments stretching is all.
