What Causes Lower Abdominal Pain During Pregnancy?

I m 5 months pregnant well actually 3 days until I m 6 months. I started having lower abdominal pain this morning, It feels like I did 1000 crunches. I waddle when I walk, I have an aching sensation when I sit especially when the baby kicks or moves. It hurts to laugh, lay down etc. I haven t been sexually active in a out a week, I work part time but I work at the register. I don t know what the pain is but its bringing me to tears. My hospital where I stay don t see treat for pregnancy, and the hospital I have to go to is 45 minutes away.I need to know is this something worth making the trip for?

Hi,

Nexplanon is known to cause irregular bleeding, dizziness,mood swings, slight white discharge without symptoms of itching or burning in urination. The bleeding is seen to be more possible in early time and tends to lessen down as body gets adjusted with the hormone.

Head ache is not likely to be side effect.Please contact your doctor to exclude other causes of head ache. In case there is fever, headache or back ache. I would suggest to get deep vaginal swab test to exclude pelvic inflammation (which can follow inadequate hygiene while you have prolonged bleeding) cnc can show possible infection in body. If you have the symptoms since long time. You should think of consulting your prescribing doctor ..in case any of the symptoms mentioned are present.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
