Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion as the pain is only on one side of umbilicus and varying with the posture it might be muscular origin.So nothing to worry.Take adequate dietary calcium through milk and calcium supplements too.As calcium insufficiency leads to muscle cramps in pregnancy.Avoid physical strain.Take good rest.Slow change of posture might be helpful.
