Is On And Off Pain In Flank, Cramping And Dizziness With Diagnosis Of Sjogren S Syndrome During Pregnancy Concerning?
I am a 27 year old pregnant woman. I have been diagnosed with Sjögren s syndrome. During my last pregnancy I had gestational diabetes insipidus. I was having flank pain and went to the gp and was diagnosed with a UTI. I have been on antibiotics for about nine days. The flank pain subsided and now is back not constant. I am having some light abdominal cramping and dizziness.

DON'T WORRY.
IF YOU HAVE MILD PAIN WITH GOOD FETAL MOVEMENTS, IT IS NORMAL AND CALLED AS BRAXTON HICKS CONTERACTIONS.
SEVERE PAIN MAY BE SUGGESTIVE OF PRETERM LABOUR SO BETTER YOU CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.
CONTROL SJOGREN SYNDROME WILL NOT HAVE ADVERSE EFFECT ON PREGNANCY.
PREGNANCY BEING IMMUNOCOMPROMISED STATE WILL DECREASE THE SEERITY OF SJOGREN SYNDROME.
SO DON'T WORRY.
TAKE REGULAR ANTENATAL VISITS.
THANKS
