Brief Answer:
Can be a normal finding.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
An intermittent pain on the specific areas of the abdomen during pregnancy can be a normal finding. This can happen due to a specific position of the baby or a muscle spasm due to wrong posture or low calcium levels.
She can have rest in the left lateral position and see if the pain subsides on its own. Avoid heavy work or climbing stairs. She can have her regular calcium supplements and increase her fluid intake.
In case the pain is sever or is persistent then she need to consult her gynecologist for a physical examination and proper prescription medicines.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
