Hi,
I understand your concern.
In pregnancy 5 months, usually the fetal movements start, uterus starts contracting in between ( quickening).. but it's without any pain.
such type of pain can be due to digestion problem/ urine infection/white discharge with pelvic inflammation/some problem with pregnancy itself.
Please wait / observe her for few hours .
let her take rest. Give her plenty of water with salt & sugar to control any problem with diarrhea./ lemon water with a pinch of sodabicarb, butter milk with asafoitida, carminative mixture to get relief from gasses. The pain due to lack of digestion would be relieved with this.
In case the problem does not subside with this/ pains continue to increase in intensity, there is increased vaginal discharge.. take her to her treating gynecologist for check up & specific advise.
thanks.
