Im pregnant and use the bathroom standing up when i finished and turned after wiping i felt stabing feeling on my leftside of abdomen why ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ligaments: Often times when one feels this stabbing or pulling sensation in pregnancy, it's due to ligaments from the uterus that are stretching. It can be super painful, and alarming too, because the pain can come out of nowhere, but typically it resolves after a few minutes, even if you may need to lie down to do so. Don't worry, you haven't hurt anything. A warm bath can always help too. Good luck !
