Hello, and I hope I can help you today.
Having some cramping during
pregnancy is normal however but it should not be severe and certainly it should not be associate with a sensation of the need to push. It is also concerning because you say touching your stomach is uncomfortable.
I am concerned that you may be experiecning
premature labor, or a threateded
miscarriage. You also may have either a uterine or
urinary tract infection. These can be a threat to your health and the baby's if they are not treated right away, so I suggest you call your
prenatal care provider and make an urgent appointment for evaluation. If you do not have access to a healthcare provider I suggest you go to a hospital emergency room for evaluation. Because of your sensation of needing to push, I do not think it is wise to delay a medical evaluation for more than 24 hours.
I am sorry to have to deliver you this information but I hope you seek appropriate medical care and that everything with you and the baby turn out to be fine.
I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that my advice was helpful.
Best wishes for the rest of the pregnancy, Dr. Brown
