Causes of abdominal pain during 18 weeks of pregnancy

Abortion is a huge blow to women, and it also has a great impact on a family. For many parents who are about to become parents, any abnormal problems during pregnancy are of great concern. So what are the reasons for abdominal pain at 18 weeks of pregnancy? This article will introduce it to you in detail, and I hope it will be helpful to you!

1. Uterine enlargement stimulates bones

After you become pregnant, you will feel your belly getting bigger day by day, and then your skin will feel tight. If you love sports, you may feel a dull pulling pain in your abdomen after hiking or playing table tennis, which is similar to normal stomach pain. For some expectant mothers, the enlarged uterus constantly stimulates the lower edge of the ribs, which may cause dull rib pain or pain due to the relaxation and separation of the pubic symphysis, and even lead to limited movement. However, these conditions are normal physiological reactions after pregnancy and do not require special treatment. The pain can be relieved by sleeping in the left side position. Expectant mothers don’t need to worry, the symptoms can be relieved by resting in bed more.

2. Pathological causes such as ectopic pregnancy and uterine adnexal disease

In the early stages of pregnancy, abdominal pain is more obvious and unbearable. Pregnant mothers should have a blood HCG test to rule out ectopic pregnancy, and then further do a comprehensive physical examination to rule out other uterine adnexal diseases.

Warm reminder: If a pregnant woman experiences abdominal pain during pregnancy, she must go to the hospital for a detailed examination in time to avoid problems such as miscarriage. At the same time, you should do the relevant fetal protection work, maintain a good mood, and wait for the baby to come.
