low abdominal pain

[Starrlite_04]

I have had a lot of aches and pains over the last few weeks. The latest pain that I'm having now is low abdominal pain with slight cramping. I just feel so much pressure in the lower part of my stomach. It's very uncomfortable. In the past when I've complained to my dr about various aches and pains, she said they were just growing pains and surprisely told me to take ibuprofen. Well, I'm 25 weeks today and know that I am too far along to continue that regimen. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do for lower abdominal pain?

My doctor said pain is a sign to take it easy more. So if you're active all day, that sounds like the reason for it then. When i have a very active day, i can hardly sit down/get up, and when i move around i feel like i have a big ball of lead in my stomach pulling down. My doc also said i d try use one if those supportive pregnancy bands, maybe you can try that? And paracetamol is safer than ibuprofen, but not good to overdo it either. Try the band, and if the pain persists, ask at your work if you can take more breaks or do some sitting jobs or so?

Thank you. I work full-time in which I'm moving around all day. I do relax when I get home and on the weekends.

What I usually do is wear the most comfortable pj's and lay down. I don't do anything just lay down and watch tv. It really helps for me. Just try and relax a bit. Hopefully it gets better. ☺
