Hello dear
Understand your concern
Swollen stomach is due to hormonal imbalance (progesterone plus cortisol due to pregnancy and stress) and side effects of misoprostol. You should check for retain product of conception after 14 days to confirm it. Pain during urination due to lower UTI infections (cystitis or urethritis) or by vaginal/pelvic infections. For that consult gynecologist and get the following tests done
Urine routine, microscopic and culture, vaginal swab test, microscopy, cell culture for vaginal infections. If UTI: take septran, drink plenty of water, maintain pelvic hygiene, wipe pelvic area before and after urination with warm water, wear pure cotton loose under garments.
Vagina infections also be treated by the antibiotics
Hope this may help you
Best regards
