What Could Be The Reason For Having Severe Abdominal Pain During Pregnancy Period?
I am 31 weeks pregnant and am having severe abdominal pain in the muscle of the upper left quadrant. it hurts to try and do anything. Deep breathes, eating, sneezing, coughing, sitting up, contractions, picking up my toddler, everything makes it hurt. I don't know what to do about it. Baby doesn't seem to be in any danger, she is still active as ever, which hurts in itself. Please help.

Hi,
As per your symptoms, it appears as though you have had a muscle catch. You can apply a topical muscle relaxant and if it does not bring any relief, get further help from your consultant. Please do not apply any heat or quick massage; you can be relieved from slow massage so as not to stimulate the uterine muscle. For the time being, stop all activity like picking up your toddler that gets you pain. Hope you find this information useful. Wish you safe motherhood.
