What Causes Abdominal Tightness During Pregnancy?
32 weeks pregnant and feeling pain at belly button and around belly button since yesterday night at intervals of 4 hours. Feeling tightness in tummy also. When walking, it's better(but not completely subsiding) and worse when lying down. Had intercourse today afternoon. I am taking susten 22mg every night in my vagina. Any complications happening?

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Abdominal tightness at 32 weeks of pregnancy can be because of braxton hicks contractions or threatened preterm labour pains.
I will suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined, investigated and treated accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Dr Deepti Verma
