Hi,
Thanks for the query.
After completion of first trimester, that is 12 weeks of gestation, uterus will become abdominal organ.
During the process of enlargement of uterus, the supportive ligaments of the uterus will become stretched.
This can lead to pain sometimes.
If you have undergone D&C during miscarriage, there is possibility of internal adhesions sometimes.
That can also lead to pain.
Better to use external analgesic ointments.
If the pain persists, take oral analgesics with your doctor's advice.
In case of severe pain, physiotherapist consultation is advised.
Take care.
