What Could Be The Cause And Remedy For Severe Rectal Pain, Abdominal Cramps With Diarrhoea In A Pregnant ?
Hi. I am 28 weeks pregnant and woke up with severe pain in my rectum and lower abdominal cramps . The pains come in waves especially when Im standing or walking. It hurts when going from standing to sitting but once I am sitting down the pain slowly subsides. I have had 4 bowel movements today already, with the last time being diahorrea. My midwife reckoned this morning I have maybe just been over doing it and to take it easy but after 4 hours of rest so far it doesn t seem to be getting any better. Can you please help?

Hi,
According to your symptoms chances are,
1. Your are having diarrhea which is leading to abdominal pain and bowel movements.
2. If you are not sure of your dates and your pregnancy is younger than what you are expecting chances of ectopic pregnancy is there.
3. Chances of miscarriage is there according to your findings if you had little spotting or bleeding from vagina.
4. Chances of scar dehisence is there in case of prior cesarean section.
5. Chances of surgical complications of pregnancy like appendicitis are there.
Any of the above conditions is dangerous during pregnancy. So, better immediately visit your gynecologist and get checkup done inducing with ultrasound examination.
thank you

Hi Katie,
Labor pains start in around abdomen and pass towards groin. Pains slowly increase in frequency as well as in severity.
As you have pain but do not look like labor pains.
Keep check on fetal movements. If any time you feel fetal movements have reduced or sluggish, contact gynecologist. USG will help to find out condition of baby.
Remain well hydrated, eat well.
Take care.
Best regards,
