A member asked:

16 wks pregant, on getting up from a chair this morning, i had sharp pain in lower right of my abdomen. its still tugging. no bleeding should i worry?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lower abd pain: At this point in pregnancy your ligaments and muscles are stretching as your uterus grows. It is not unusual to strain or pull muscles and ligaments as they are stretching. As long as you are not bleeding and this is a localized pain it is likely the above. it certainly appropriate to contact your OB and consult with him/her.
