- abd pain

[Guest guest]

,

I am so glad that you have an awesome Dr who is taking this pain

very seriously...

It may very well turn out to be something simple like adhesions/etc,

but you can never be too careful when yours and your baby's health

is concerned.

Glad the pain is a bit better today too.

Keep in touch,

All the best,
