What should pregnant women do if they have abdominal cramps?

The baby is relatively safest in the mother's womb, but sometimes some unhealthy or sudden factors in the mother may affect the healthy growth of the fetus. Pregnant women often experience abdominal cramps during early pregnancy. Although this phenomenon is relatively common, it should be taken seriously by expectant mothers. Because there are many reasons for abdominal cramps, in order to ensure the health of the fetus, such cramps cannot be ignored.

If a pregnant woman experiences slight abdominal cramps in the early stages of pregnancy, it is generally normal. Just observe carefully to see if there are any adverse reactions. If the abdominal cramps occur in the middle stages of pregnancy, there is a possibility of miscarriage. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for examination or rest in bed immediately. If the cramps occur in the late stages of pregnancy, it is basically time for delivery.

The discomfort in the stomach is caused by cramping on both sides of the lower abdomen, and often only one side hurts, and the pain alternates between the two sides. Especially in the morning and evening when getting out of bed, there is always a cramping pain. This cramping pain is caused by the pulling of the round ligament of the uterus, and it does not pose a danger to the pregnancy process.

If you have abdominal pain, it is best to rest in bed and observe. If the abdominal pain is obvious and accompanied by vaginal bleeding, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination to avoid miscarriage.

Sometimes the stomach will cramp and ache, which may be due to irregular uterine contractions. If the contractions are frequent, it may lead to miscarriage. You should pay attention to rest, avoid spicy food, keep warm, and avoid sexual intercourse. If the abdominal pain is frequent, you need to actively go to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital for examination to clarify the situation of the fetus in the uterus.

In this case, you can go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound to check the child's development. In addition, you can also take calcium supplements appropriately.

Although pubic pain is not the most commonly mentioned pain, 50% of expectant mothers ranked it as the most painful pain. In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, many expectant mothers will feel inexplicable pain in the pubic bone, a pulling sensation, especially when standing, walking, or going up and down stairs. The pain is more obvious, and sometimes it hurts when turning over or sitting up in sleep. This phenomenon occurs mainly because, during pregnancy, especially in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, the fetus grows larger and the uterus expands accordingly. The pubic space will undergo corresponding physiological changes and become wider than before pregnancy. After the pregnant woman gives birth, the widened gap between the pubic bones will gradually return to its original position. The pain caused by this pubic symphysis separation is generally tolerable. If the pubic bone is dislocated significantly, it may cause ligament sprain and edema in severe cases, making it difficult to move. The expectant mother will have to stay in bed and rest.

Expectant mothers do not need to worry too much about some common abdominal pain during pregnancy. However, we cannot take it lightly. The safest way is to consult a doctor in time when you have abdominal pain, and take some measures that are beneficial to the fetus under the doctor's guidance. It is better to be safe than sorry. Expectant mothers should pay special attention to matters concerning the fetus.
