Answer C is the correct answer. There is an increase of gallstones in pregnancy because of the increased levels of estrogen. There is an increase of kidney stones and pyelonephritis because of the uterus putting pressure on the ureter causing decreased urinary flow. Round ligament pain is caused by the uterus growing and the ligament that attaches the uterus to the abdominal wall and stretches as the uterus grows. This usually presents after 17-18 weeks. Diverticulitis does not usually cause right sided abdominal pain in the pregnant female.
