Question: i have pelvic aches/pains and I'm 6 weeks pregnant. I seem to get them in the evening. I use to just have small aches but these past 2 nights I have been feeling the pain more. What can be causing these pains

Brief Answer:
Could it be due to uterine contraction.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
These pelvic pain is most likely due to uterine contraction and only relieved by uterine relaxant.
If pain is persistent and having any other symptoms than only required any treatment otherwise it will resolve by its own.
