Hi,

First of all, relax your self as it is not an emergency. As far as I suspect this is round ligament pain and hernia. Round ligament varicosity (RLV) This is rare and almost all cases are pregnant women. It might appear unilateral or bilateral groin swelling. Pain and tenderness are present. Clinical evaluation is not sufficient for exact diagnosis because an inguinal hernia has similar findings. Ultrasonography is essential when a groin swelling is detected in a pregnant woman. Lower back ache is normal in pregnancy. She should consult some lady surgeon for after sonography.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammad Bilal Khan, General & Family Physician
