Brief Answer: related to baby movement, harmless. Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXX, Would you please tell me your complaint in a more elaborated way. I would like to know if - pain is continuous or intermittent? - any bowel or bladder problems? - are you perceiving movements of the baby separately? In my opinion this pain is probably related to movement of baby which will subside soon or you will be acquainted to it soon. Take adequate rest and drink lots of water and try to sleep in left lateral position. Get an ultrasound done for fetal growth parameters in case you haven't had it in past month. Take care and all the best.Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
