Should I be worried if I am 39 weeks pregnant and it feels like something is tearing in my side?

Since you are 39 weeks, you are probably seeing your Dr on a weekly basis. Please ask him/her just to be on the safe side. I can't say directly if this applies to you but some women have what's called round ligament syndrome, or ligament pain.
Although common, it's not typically discussed in pregnancy books, and sometimes Docs forget to mention this because they are focused on the bigger issues of pregnancy.
See round ligament pain on this page for more info.

It could be a number of reasons... I'll list what few I know..but why take any chances? This is your pride and joy were talking about :) call your doctor as soon as ya' can.
COULD BE:
*Irritation and inflammation of stomach lining (gastritis) which is also associated with ulcerated areas of stomach lining which can cause bleeding. In advanced cases perforation (tearing) of the stomach lining can occur. Both of these problems can lead to anemia. Inflammation of ducts (passageways) can also be problematic. Nutritional deficits can occur because of a condition called malabsorption. This occurs when the stomach cannot optimally utilize (use) nutrients.
OR:
*The stomach lining appears to be a nighttime construction site -- a continual repair work-in-progress, according to a new study. And late hours, too much alcohol, and other lifestyle factors that prevent a good night's sleep, disrupt the stomach's natural repair cycle and may lead to ulcers, or tearing of the stomach lining.
Hope this helps

Instead of asking someone on here, who is most likely not a doctor. Call up like that place.. you know when you don't feel good, they tell you if you should make a doctors oppointment or not. Kaiser has one. Because my mom works there. Call them, tell them your symptons, & they'll tell you what you have right away.
hope that helped =) good luckk

Contact your doctor and let him/her know about it.
Most likely it is just muscles stretching, but call or visit an emergency room to be certain. Don't take chances. :)
