A member asked:

I had a 7wk miscarriage yesterday. having "poking"-like pain to the left of belly button area. appendicitis or something else? wait or see ob-gyn?

Depends on severity: If severe, call the doctor - probably OB would be best. Appendicitis starts around the belly butoon, and migrates to the right lower abdomen, becoming worse with movement. That refers tio pain however. A "poking" sensation is not specific for anything. Hope this helps!
