Pain in lower abdomen. Is this ligament pain?
Patient: My 21 yr daughter is having her first baby and she is experiencing pain in her lower abdomen right side. I had her lay down with her knee up with a pillow underneath. The pain has lessened. I told her I thought it was ligament pain. She is married and does not live with me. I am on the phone with her. She she be concerned? Doctor: Hi,Welcome to HCM.If the pain is very severe, then she should get in touch with her gynecologist for check up. I doubt she is having ligament pains. If she is more than 28 weeks pregnant, then she is supposed to lie down in left lateral position. She might have stretching pain due to the growing uterus.Examination by a doctor is necessary to find out the cause.Thanks.
