Causes of belly button pain during pregnancy

After many of our female compatriots become pregnant, their bellies get bigger and bigger as time goes by, which means that our baby is getting closer to birth. So when our wife is pregnant and her belly is big, her belly button hurts, do you know why? Have we learned anything about this? Let’s introduce them together below!

Causes of belly button pain during pregnancy

Starting from the second trimester, the fetus will grow very fast and the belly will be stretched, so the area around the belly button will feel stretched. It is recommended to use moisturizer to moisturize the skin on the belly as much as possible at this time, otherwise stretch marks will easily appear. Please rest assured that the pain around the belly button of pregnant women will not affect the baby in the belly.

There is another possibility that pregnant women may experience pain around their belly buttons: in the early stages of pregnancy, there will be occasional cramping in the lower abdomen, sometimes only on one side, sometimes the entire lower abdomen will hurt, but it will not be too painful, only a slight cramp. This is mainly because the ligaments supporting the uterus are pulled upward due to the swelling of the uterus during pregnancy. No special treatment is required, just rest. If the pain is severe and unbearable, or it is continuous pain rather than occasional cramps, you need to see an obstetrician and gynecologist.

After a woman becomes pregnant, a series of adaptive changes will occur in various systems throughout the body in order to meet the needs of embryo and fetal growth and development. Although these changes are physiological, they may cause pregnancy discomfort symptoms that are almost pathological. Pregnant women may experience mild abdominal pain due to enlarged uterus and ligament stretching. In addition, the enlarged uterus is softer and more sensitive to pain. Therefore, it is normal for pregnant women to feel abdominal pain occasionally, which is generally tolerable and can be relieved after rest. However, if the abdominal pain is severe, or accompanied by vaginal discharge or bleeding, you should be alert to the possibility of miscarriage or premature birth. It is best to go to the obstetrics and gynecology department of a local regular hospital as soon as possible and receive fetal preservation treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

Well, the above is the reason why our female compatriots experience belly button pain during pregnancy. Are you filled with emotion after reading it? Being a pregnant mother is actually not easy, so we must take good care of our wives, because looking at all this, it feels like it is not easy for them, and they are very great!
