I'm 19 weeks pregnant and finally conceived after trying for a year. I'm really concerned because I've started noticing blood threads when I pee, even though my level 2 ultrasound came back normal. The doctors in Srinagar haven't figured out the cause yet. Could you please help me understand what's going on?

I've been dealing with this horrible pain for a couple of hours now, it's in my lower abdomen on the side away from my appendix. It's really strange because when I'm lying down, it doesn't bother me, but walking is super painful and sitting up is just unbearable. What could be causing this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing an issue with your ovary, bowel, or urinary tract, possibly an ovarian cyst, infection, or even diverticulitis. Please see a doctor immediately for evaluation, as this pain requires urgent attention. Rest and avoid straining in the meantime.
