What Causes Upper Left Flank Pain During 26 Weeks Of Pregnancy?

Hello, I m with my 26 week pregnant wife on the OB floor and she is having pain in the mid to upper left flank. All lab work and ultasounds are normal and bay is fine, no contractions. She has a low fever, 100.3 and the pain is shaper after eating which she hasn t done since last night. The Dr. just ordered a monospot but otherwise they are not sure. Any possible suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion as all the lab works and ultrasound are normal the pain might be mostly muscular origin or due to gastritis as the pain is increased after eating.This type of non specific pains occur usually in pregnancy.Dont worry they will subside spontaneously on their own before or after delivery.Take paracetamol for pain and antacids for gastritis.Avoid spicy diet and apply balms locally.
