Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
McDonald's stitch probably may not cause all such problems of discomfort on sitting in lower abdomen.
You should expect to see that the discomfort may just go away, if it does not, please see that ultrasonogarphy be done to see if there is any collection in the Pouch of Douglass to see if the stitch is placed too high and so on.
Since you are pregnant CT scan Should not be done .
MRI may be done as it is safe for the baby.

Consult your Gynecologist for an internal examination and review of the situation, whether the stitch needs to be removed or not.
