Is Anterior Uterine Wall Contraction At 15 Weeks Of Pregnancy While Experiencing Abdominal Pain A Concern?
Hi, my last visit to the doctor for sonography at 11weeks, it read Anterior uterine wall contraction noted. Could this cause any problem to my pregnancy? Now I am 15 weeks gone and I still get some pain on my lower abdomen when I seat on a low position. Could this cause a problem to my baby?

Hello,
Occasional uterine contractions are common during pregnancy. It is nothing to be worried about.
The pain you are noticing while sitting down is likely due to the stretching of the ligaments around the uterus. Make sure to sir on a comfortable chair. Take breaks walking around whenever possible.
If the pain worsens or you develop bleeding, follow up with the urgent care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
