Abdominal ligament pains

Long time creeper, first time poster!

I am 17 mos post op RNY and exactly 6 mos pregnant today!

I am having severe abdominal pain ( probably ligament) and it accompanied by whole back spasm.

Is it possible that surgery- having tightened abdo muscles from wt loss and exercise- can make these pains worse?

They do not let up - i mean constant spasm like feeling in abdo- for two days at a time, i am totally nauseous, dizzy. Most books describe these pains as short, jabby and aggravated by position- my experience is different so i worry!

I see doc tomorrow- I've had routine u/s that says everything is normal

Sorry kinda long but thanks for listening/ responding to my inquiry!

"constant spasm like feeling in abdo"  This sounds like a contraction.  Could just be braxton hicks, I've had some really painful ones.  Either way, I'd talk to the doc to rule out preterm labor!

I agree with Paula to have this checked out because sounds like contractions as they normally are in the stomach and radiate to back. They can do a stress test to monitor for contractions.

Ditto -- Get that checked out.

I get round ligament pains, but they only last a few minutes and don't radiate. They're down low in the uterus, and only happen when I sit up too quickly or otherwise use my abdominal muscles unwisely.

Braxton Hicks, from what I understand,are not severe or recurring, nor do they last for entire days. Definitely talk to a midwife or doctor.

I had RNY 7 years ago, and I'm due 12/5/13. This is my first pregnancy that has lasted past the first trimester.
