IBS issues or appendicitis??

I am a 24 year old female, I am also 6 weeks pregnant. I was diagnosed with IBS-C and Anxiety a few months ago, but for the last day an a half I have been having this odd pinching/pain in my right side straight across from my belly button and a bit above the belly button (still on my side.) It is more irritating than anything, but it is starting to become very worrisome. It comes and goes, sort of like cramping but it happens 10-20+ times an hour, and everything I have read has said that appendicitis pain is constant which this is not. Could this just be IBS and my Anxiety just making worse?

I have had troubles with IBS and slow colon for about 40 years. (More constipation than the other....it goes back and forth.) Quite often when I get too gassy, eat fatty foods, too much sugary foods, etc. I can get the pain in my lower right side. I worry sometimes that it might be appendicitis (which is a big fear of mine since my mother had hers burst and now it scares me!). I also have GAD (General Anxiety Disorder.) So, I tense up and it can even get worse.

With the pregnancy I would definitely have your OB/GYN check things out, but I just wanted to let you know that the gas/anxiety combo seems to always cause me discomfort in that same area and has for years! It can last a few hours or a few days, just off and on. The doctor told me there is sometimes a narrowing in that area of your colon, so I guess all that combined is my problem. Good luck.
