What Causes Stomach Ache When 36 Weeks Pregnant?
I m 35 weeks almost 36 weeks pregnant I dropped a stool that was as big as my fist and now I have tummy pains, I also feel like I need to poop more but I m afraid to push because my belly button is herniated. Should I be afraid to push? Also the tummy pains are just from my guts and baby settling right? If not what could it be?

hi,your stomach ache sounds most likely because of your stool problem and not because of anything else.labour pains will not be like this.it will start from the back and radiate in front,will not disappear with passing stool,and will continue to increase in intensity.so there is nothing to worry.take care.just avoid hard stools by drinking lot of water and eating lot of green veg.if you still have hard stools you can take syrup cremaffin 2 tsf at bedtime.all the best.
