intermittent left lower abdomen pain

[jennhalcyon]

I am 34, mother of two (2 yo and 8 mos) both normal vaginal deliveries.  I have a history of abnormal paps (also colpo) that seem to clear up after delivery.  Since December I have had intermittent pain in my lower left pelvic area.  At first I thought it was ovulation pain, but I never got my period and all pg tests were neg.  (Still nursing, still no period).

The pain comes and goes very sporadically but is always on the left side.  At times the pain is just a dull ache and worsens when I touch the area.  On occasion (most recently yesterday) I become unable to walk.  It almost feels as though a nerve in my groin becomes pinched because I feel like I have no control over my left leg...it becomes so weak I have to drag it along.  This only lasts for hours at a time.  I experienced this same sensation the day I went into labor with my son (also the left leg), and my OB said it was most likely an excessive amount of relaxin causing the trouble.

I have an appt in 2 days with my obgyn.  Are their any specific tests I should ask them to perform, or any special questions I should know to ask?

TIA,
Jenn

I have a similar pain in the left side of my abdomen, just left of my belly button. I have had a sigmoidoscopy done, which was normal and now I am scheduled for an ultrasound to see what it is. Some days the pain is not so bad, dull and a little more painful when touched but then there are other days that is is excrutiating. I also have 2 children, a 2 year old and a 3 month old. I noticed this pain at the begininng of my last pregnancy. It is worse when I excersise, especially run, like a really bad side ache. I have no idea what it is.
