Is right abdominal pain common during pregnancy ?

Hello, i m 27 weeks pregnant and for the past couple of weeks have been having really bad pain on my right hand side at the bottom of my ribs which comes on when i am sitting. It feels slightly better if i hold it in with my hand whilst sitting, or it completely goes when lying down. Is this just the baby pushing everything up and do you think its going to last the rest of the pregnancy . Thank

Hi,cerina thanks for query.I think this is external muscular pain and may be due to some pressure on it due to something.You can apply some local analgesic over it and it will go.Growing baby I think is not the reason for this.bye.

I just had an ultrasound of my abdominal area. Nothing abnormal during the test. Although it showed an enormous amount of gas. I have had digestive problems for years. Now the discomfort, burning and pain on the lower right side of the abdomen has become cronic. Next step?

I have had right abdominal pain for the past 5 days. I went to the ER on Monday, and after spending 6 and a half hours getting blood drawn/having a CT Scan, they told me that they did not find anything wrong with me. The pain is especially bad when I breath in deeply or when I laugh. It also worsens after/during physical activity. I have had explosive/bad diarrhea as well. I really don t want to have to go back to the ER just to find out nothing is wrong with me, since its currently a blizzard outside and I don t want to go unless it s an emergency. My pediatrician didn t say anything to help.
