Hi My daughter in law is 18 weeks pregnant with her first baby and has been having pains. She went to the hospital yesterday but they said baby was fine and it was her body expanding. Today they have called her to say she has an infection also the pain is back round her abdomen and back can you give some advice.
Hi, thanks for writing.. Urinary infection can cause pain in the lower abdomen.. Treat the urinary infection with antibiotics according to the sensitivity report.. Take adequate rest and she can use progesterone tablet for a week to relax the uterus.. if there is contractions, she need to get a scan to see for the cervical length and take a tocolytic.. hope i have answered your query.. Good day..
