Abstract:
The anatomic and physiologic changes of pregnancy make the diagnosis and management of abdominal pain difficult. Abdominal conditions both related and unrelated to the pregnancy may be life threatening for mother or fetus; therefore, accurate diagnosis and proper management are essential. This article reviews the most common conditions presenting as acute abdominal pain during pregnancy.
