What Causes Abdominal Pain During Pregnancy?

i am 34 weeks pregnant. i am had the worst period like pains last night and managed to sleep a little bit with a heat pack. this morning and today i have had painful cramping around my ribs which goes down both sides and the period like pain is still there. My doctor put me on antibiotics last week cos she said i had a urine infection but i dont think that they have worked cos everything gets alot more painful after i go to the toilet. i have taken panadol which hasnt seemed to do anything. i have been in bed most of today. should i be getting checked at the hospital or something?

Hello
I understand your concerns.
I would suggest you to go for repeat urine examination as well urine culture.
If oral antibiotics are not working, you might need IV antibiotics.
Also, abdominal ultrasound will help to find out other causes of pain and status of baby.

Hope this helps.
Thanks.
