Signs And Symptoms Of Appendicitis; What You Should Know

Symptoms During Pregnancy

Appendicitis during pregnancy can be difficult to determine since many of the symptoms are similar to a healthy pregnancy. These symptoms may be heightened, however, because, during pregnancy, the uterus pushes the appendix up so the pain might be felt higher, rather than on the typical lower right side of the abdomen. Further symptoms include cramping, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, gas, constipation, and diarrhea.
