A member asked:

18 weeks pregnant woke up to a sharp abdomen pain on the lower stomach and it's been an hour now.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pain/18 wks pregnant: At 18 weeks, the fetus is getting large enough to cause pain when he/she is changing position. In addition, you may have a urinary tract infection, and you should see your healthcare provider for a culture to make certain of the cause.
