Suggest Treatment For Back And Abdominal Pain During Pregnancy

hi i am a couple days away from 27 weeks pregnant. I have a migrane where i cant see straight as well as sharp lower back and lower abdominal pain where it hurts to walk. I ve taken tylenol , layed down on my side and drank lots of water. I ve found if i curl up into a ball as tiny as i can go the abdominal pain decreases, but is still there but the back shooting pains get worse. what should i do?

Hello,
I have gone through the query and understood the concern. Shooting backache during pregnancy can mean a cervical origin. Either the cervix is getting slowly shortened and dilated or the fetal parts are descending on to the cervix exerting pressure. Infection of the urinary tract is another factor that should be paid attention. In the current scenario, you should report the matter immediately to your consultant and go for a check up. Curling up is not advisable as it puts undue pressure on the abdomen and thereby the enlarging uterus. Hope your query has been answered. Wish you safe motherhood.
