tearing pains

  • Abdominal Pain at 35 Weeks

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    I am 35 weeks pregnant. I am not a high risk pregnancy and have not had any bleeding or heavy discharge.

    I am having abdominal pain moderate to severe on the right side which seems to subside when I lay down on my left side. I can not lay on my right side without severe pain returning. It seems to feel like a tearing pain then begins to cramp. I also feel stabs of this pain when I am standing up or sitting up. This pain came on suddenly and is going on 24 hours.

    Could there be something wrong that is not associated with the pregnancy?
