What Causes Pain In The Lower Abdomen With Constipation During Pregnancy?
I m 9 weeks pregnant and have been sick. I m on zofran, which has caused constipation. For the past few hours I ve been having severe waves of pain in my lower left abdominals. It feels like I m going to have diarhea but nothing happens. I have had several small solid stools this morning.

well constipation is a common feature in pregnancy. these pains in lower abdomen are because of stretching of uterine ligaments ( uterosacrals and mckenrodt's) and increasing laxity under effect of increased progesterone. this is giving you that feeling of evacuation as well. suggestion is to apply hot fomentation over lower back and abdomen , that should help. and zofran is ondansetron an, antiemetic , to prevent nausea and vomiting episodes, you can continue that.
