What if I feel uncomfortable in my stomach when I am pregnant?

For expectant mothers, in addition to paying attention to diet and hygiene in daily life, they must also pay special attention to various changes or pains in their bodies. Knowing more about clinical symptoms is very important for our correct maintenance, care or fetal protection. Let us discuss the problem of abdominal discomfort in the early stages of pregnancy. What are the common factors? I hope expectant mothers will pay attention to this.

1. Early pregnancy reaction

Many pregnant women often experience some pregnancy reactions and stomach discomfort in the early stages of pregnancy. Experts point out that these are normal phenomena, and pregnant women can effectively alleviate this phenomenon as long as they pay more attention to rest. The abdominal discomfort caused by pregnancy reactions is most serious in the middle stage of pregnancy. Most pregnant women often experience some not very severe abdominal pain and discomfort, but it does not last too long. Some pregnant women also have symptoms such as vomiting.

The reason for stomach discomfort is mostly due to the physiological increase in gastric acid secretion in early pregnancy, while the occasional cramps in the lower abdomen are closely related to uterine enlargement. These will not cause any adverse effects.

2. Round ligament of uterus

Some pregnant women will also experience abdominal pain after 5-6 months of pregnancy, but the abdominal pain at this time is different from other times, and it is mainly dull pain. These pregnant women often experience persistent dull pain in the lower abdomen without any cause. Experts point out that this is largely related to the rapid growth of the uterus. In this case, the round ligament of the uterus that supports the uterus also stretches, becomes longer, and increases in tension, resulting in dull pain.

Moreover, the stretching of the round ligament will cause traction on the uterine wall at the attachment point, resulting in occasional dull pain symptoms. In fact, this is also a common symptom during pregnancy. Therefore, if you feel stomach discomfort in the early stages of pregnancy, this factor should also be taken into consideration.

Finally, in addition to the early pregnancy reactions and abdominal discomfort caused by the round ligament of the uterus mentioned above, a considerable number of pregnant women also experience hiatal hernia in the early stages of pregnancy. This symptom is generally more common after 4 months of pregnancy. Upper abdominal pain will also occur. You should pay attention to your diet, remember not to eat too much, do not stand for long periods of time, ensure sleep, and drink plenty of water before you can gradually recover.
