What Does Pain In Abdomen During Pregnancy Indicate?

I am 11 weeks pregnant and for the past hour or so I have ben experiencing pain on the left side of my mid section. When I take a deep breath I feel sharp pains all through out my stomach area, my stomach is really hard which is not usual and my urine has a foul odor. I have had 5 miscarriages in the past 5 years but I have never experienced pain like this.

hi
thank you for asking your concern madam and welcome to hcm. there are few things which we can think of as per your description. left sided pain and hardness of stomach occurs in gastritis which is most common condition in early trimester. as you are telling a foul smell odor in urine and if you are having a burning urination or frequent urination then it is more like to be urinary tract infection, even these symptoms are absent infection can be present. for gastritis tab ranitidine, frequent small meals, in between warm water can be tried. for urinary infection you have to take antibiotics like amoxicillin, cephalexin. you had recurrent miscarriages, for that you must have been consulted and evaluation has been done if not then you have to be get evaluated for diabetes, hypertension, anemia, TORCH infections.
i would suggest you to take ranitidine one tablet two times a day, tab paracetamol whenever pain presents and take bed rest. if it does not decreased then you must visit your doctor.
i hope i answered your concern still if you have any further query please feel free to ask.
regards
