Suggest Treatment For Severe Rectal Pain And Lower Abdominal Pain
Hi,
I'm 23 years old and due to give birth with my 3rd child next week. I'm experiencing rectal pain and lower abdominal pain. I'm feeling very mild, if at all, contractions in my stomach. Although I was spotting yesterday, I'm not spotting today. My mucus plug came out this morning. I have felt much less movement these past two days but I can still feel my baby moving. Any suggestions? I don't want to sit in the ER all night if I don't have to. I haven't had any complications with any of my pregnancies this far.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of having the third delivery in next week and you have got rectal pain and pain in the lower abdomen which are basically mild abdominal contractions.
Since the mucus plug has eased out, it is possible that you may go into labor pains soon.
The rectal pain could have been due to anal fissure and is common at this stage of pregnancy.
I would advise you the following considering all the points you have mentioned.
Sitz bath in a warm water, will ease the discomfort.
Wait and watch and report to the Doctor, or your center for delivery the moment you feel pains.
Wishing you all the best for your delivery and
