Most pregnancies are medically uneventful and end happily in the successful birth of a healthy baby.
But you still have 40 weeks to wonder whether certain physical and emotional discomforts of pregancy are serious enough for medical intervention or are minor problems that you can deal with on your own. Remember, you should never hesitate to call your health care provider about any discomfort or illness you experience while you're pregnant. To relieve sharp pains or cramps from stretched abdominal muscles and ligaments, particularly when sitting or lying down, use a warm heating pad. Regular exercise will strengthen and tone your abdominal muscles. If muscles become separated, contact your health care provider for abdominal stregthening exercises.
