  5. I'm 8 weeks pregnant and for the past week, I've been having some mild on and off lower abdominal pain. I had an ultrasound and everything looked normal, so no ectopic pregnancy or ovarian cysts, and my urine routine came back normal too. I'm just a bit worried about the pain and wondering if it's something I should be concerned about or if there are any other tests or precautions I should consider?

The mild lower abdominal pain you are experiencing could be due to the normal changes that occur during pregnancy. However, it's important to monitor this symptom and inform your healthcare provider if it persists or worsens. In the meantime, you can try taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) for pain relief, following the recommended dosage on the package. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.
