A member asked:

I don't think i'm pregnant but been having contractions all day what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get pregnancy test: Check a pregnancy test first. If negative, constipation is a common reason for "contraction" like pain (especially in your left lower abdomen). Also, bladder infections, kidney, stomach / bowel problems (aka gastroenteritis). If you are having fever or your pain is worsening, go to the nearest ER.
