Lower abdominal pain caused by lifting toddler?


I have been experiencing a dull pain in my lower abdomen for a day or two at a time for several months now. The pain is the worst in the morning. I have not changed my diet, nor has any of my female cycles changed or been irregular- the only thing I can think of is my nephew who I babysit. Hes quite heavy (40 lbs about - and I'm 20 years old and 120 lbs) and I sometimes lift him, for example yesterday he threw a tantrum and I lifted him up and he proceeded to struggle with me and kick me, today I woke up with the pain again- my question is this- can this kind of lower abdominal pain be cause by lifting a heavy child and/or the kicking, even though i don't have any back pain?

You could just be reaggravating a strained muscle, or I'm sorry to say, you may have a slight herniation. Go to the doctor and mention the possibility and see if they'll take a look. It may be nothing, but if it is a herniation, the sooner you know, the less damage you'll do yourself, and they may have to fix it!
