What Causes Stomach Cramps And Pain In Lower Abdomen During Pregnancy?
Starting from 7th month of pregnancy, I am experiencing stomach cramps in lower abdomen. I always feel that I am constipated because of intense heaviness in lower abdomen. Sometimes the pain is in loeer back and sometimes in lower abdomen. Is this normal?
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. Well, the symptoms of cramps and pain in the lower abdomen is due to constipation. This particularly occurs to many during the last trimester of pregnancy. You don't have to worry much about it. You can take stool softners like laxatives to get relief from this problem. Also take high fiber diet and drink pleanty of water. While sleeping, sleep in lateral position. Take care. All the best.
