What Causes Lower Abdominal Pain During Pregnancy?
My wife has POG of 22 weeks. She complains of having cramps in her lower part of abdomen 3 cm below umbilicus. She has intense pain sometime otherwise she has mild pain which is tolerable. Additionally she feels that some thing is putting pressure when she lie down in lateral position. Her USG abdomen and Pelvis was done on 18 weeks of POG which was normal.

Hello,
Cramping typically occurs when the uterus expands, causing the ligaments and muscles that support it to stretch. The round ligament is a muscle that supports the uterus, and when it stretches, you may feel a sharp, stabbing pain, or a dull ache in your lower abdomen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
