Hi, can I answer your health question? Please type your question here... Hi I m 26 weeks pregnant I m having pain in the right side of my lower back. It s not a lot but slightly uncomfortable. Wanted to know if it s normal. And moving a little makes a weird sharp pain in my lower abdomen.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Lower back pain in pregnancy is due to calcium deficiency and stretching of the ligaments. Take calcium supplementation and do prenatal exercises to get relief. Abdominal pain on stretching is because of the ligaments.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions. Regards, Dr Deepti Verma
