Tender Spot Lower Left Abdomen/pelvic Region Posted: 07-07-04 14:51pm
I am appx 18 weeks pregnant and suffering
tenderness/pain to the touch in my lower
left abdomen/pelvic area. It has been
this way for at least one month. At last
doc visit at 15 wks, he said it was normal
to have tenderness when he pressed down
because of the growing round ligament. I
think it is not normal, however, because
it has not gone away and seems to be even
more sore today. I am scheduled for an
ultrasound in 2 weeks and wonder if I
should go in earlier due to this problem,
or if I am just being paranoid.
Any suggestions on what it may be,
anyone?
Thanks.

Well girlfriend, I believe your doc is
right. I also have the same problem.
Therapy really helps for this sort of
ligament pain. Good luck!

Lower Left Abdominal Pain Posted: 07-13-04 22:01pm
Thanks for your replies. My question is,
if it was another baby in my tube, why
would it have not shown up on my
ultrasounds I had at 4 and 6 weeks
pregnant? I am growing rapidly so I know
I should feel stretcy and pains due to
round ligament, but this has been
consistently tender for over 5 weeks. The
nurse says it is normal, too. I am
visiting the doctor in 6 days for
ultrasound and I will tell the tech to
check it out.

I have the same problem... Although I
don't think i'm pregnant because I was
experiencing symptoms and then my period
came . After couple of weeks I had some
light bleeding . But whenever I sleep on
my stomach my left lower side would hurt
or when I press on it . I don't know
why... But im going to the doctor today
and see whats wrong .

Not My Appendix Posted: 07-14-04 09:55am
I know it is not my appendix because that
is on my right side and the tenderness is
on the left lower side.
Liyah-please let me know what the doc says
at your appt. My friend thought it might
be my colon but I have had no other
symptoms what so ever besides two weekends
ago I had two small spots of blood which
the nurse said was normal. I am wondering
if my nurses are crazy!
