Lower abdominal pain!?

[Angie G]

I'm 21 weeks pregnant and I had sex with my fiance last night. This morning I woke up with bad lower left side abdominal pain. I am not bleeding and no differance in discharge. Is this something I should be worried about? Should I go to the Emergency room???

No it is not related.

You should call your doctor, he will advise you best. If he is not in the office the answering service will have him return your call. If the pain is severe, and you are concerned, or your doctor does not return your call, you should get emergency care/evaluation.

Firstly congrats to you and your fiance. Secondly I have 3 children and abdominal pain can sometimes be eased by lying on your side if it doesnt subside,switch sides. If that does not work try drinking plenty of water and resting some more, if the pain continues or worsens contact your OB doctor or head to the emergency room, when in doubt,check it out. Good luck :)

your muscles change alot this far a long in pregnancy. and when you work muscles that are stretched out they do get sore. I experience this also. sometimes they hurt immediatly, or like you, the next morning. things sound good, you know what to look for it sounds like. I hope this helps.

I would call your doctor to be on the safe side, but my guess is that you probably used a muscle over there that either has bene tretchign and the increased use of it just probably makes you feel sore today. But id call just to see. Hope the pain goes away. Good Luck, I had a similar thing when i was pregnant after sex, or working out,even with yoga. Its just the pullign and stretchign and increased amount of work on the muscle. Take a hot soothing bath, see if that helps
