If your pain is in the upper right part of your belly (right under your ribcage) you DEFINITELY need to call or go into L&D.
It COULD be classified as "epi-gastric" pain and could be a sign of an issue with your liver (called HELLP syndrome). I had this with my daughter. I later found out that because women often wait too long to be seen for this condition, it has a 25% morbidity rate. Please do not delay on this!
I'm glad you're ok. I didn't want to scare you, but what I described is SERIOUSLY BAD STUFF. I had my daughter by emergency C-section 4 days after I first felt the pain!

We can't unfortunately diagnose these types of pain over the net
