Heading to the doctor this afternoon - UPDATE (w/ pic)

So I've been having this pain across the lower abdomen for the last few days. It is continuous when I walk and I get it even when I am relaxing. I drink plenty of water too. I know I have been very busy and may have overdone it (I move in 10 days and I danced at a wedding this weekend) and I am hoping that is all this pain is. I haven't felt the baby move too much today so that makes me nervous.
I also feel like I am getting a UTI so I want the doctor to let me know what would be safe to take.
I really hope this is nothing serious

UPDATE
So, let me start by saying thank you to everyone for keeping me in your thoughts today. I was seen by a new doctor and she really wasn't able to tell me why I am getting this pain. I told her I think I have a UTI, which she said could cause this pain (they are doing an analysis/culture and will get back to me). She said she wanted me to rest for the next 1-2 days and come back if the pain continued/got worse. She said if they need to, they will move up my anatomy scan, which is already scheduled for next Friday. Let me tell you, I was such a nervous wreck, plus I was alone (DH was at work) I was hysterical crying before I even saw the doctor!!! Quite embarrassing. Anyway, she ended up doing a measurement of my uterus which came back good, she found the heartbeat right away (140s), and then she did an untrasound to try and ease my mind (I guess the continuous weeping helped get this U/S!). Here's a picture of my baby, my little skeleton

Good luck & KUP! If you have a UTI, you'll be put on antibiotics that are safe to take during pregnancy.

I went in around that time to for the same reason and it turned out to be round ligaments. I hope that is all it is and you can get some peace of mind. Good luck and let us know how your appt goes.
