abdominal pain

in 2nd Trimester
I had my 20 week ultrasound on Wednesday.  Everything looked perfect and we found out that we are having a girl.  Thursday morning i woke up feeling like I had done a major ab workout.  This feeling has gotten worse and worse.  I feel extrememly bloated, low back pain and still, feel like my ab muscles have been worked to the max. I also have been having some mild cramping on and off all day today.  Anyone experience anything like this after thier big ultrasound? Googled and got no answers.

    OMG I am exactly the same (even had u/s on wednesday).  For the past 2.5 days I have felt like I am just cramping away or that I strained my ab muscles or something (and let me say I have NOT worked out!).

    My mom used to be an OB nurse for a really long time and I was there yesterday and she said theres nothing wrong with it, but its annoying cause I haven't felt like that at ALL and now I am just scared by it!

    If your US was externally, it would not cause any internal symptoms....It's probably just a coincidence on the timing.

    All those symptoms are normal.  When I have cramping I drink extra water and just rest.

    I agree- slow down. When I had severe cramping earlier in pregnancy my OB told me to drink water and lie down. That helped.

    Could be RLP too. Drink water and get off your feet. I have had the same feelings off and on the last month and it is usually after doing to much activity.?
