What causes abdominal pain in pregnant women?

Pregnant women are carrying life, but they need to go through a lot of pain before they can bring their babies into the world. Pregnant women generally have early pregnancy reactions, which are symptoms such as morning sickness that people are more familiar with. But is it normal for pregnant women to have lower abdominal cramps? Do they need to undergo some examinations? Let's see how experts explain the phenomenon of lower abdominal cramps in pregnant women.

The pain is caused by the baby's development. As long as the pain is not particularly severe, you can rest assured.

Lower abdominal pain in early pregnancy is similar to the dull pain you feel when your period is about to start, and can be improved by getting more rest. In addition, after 20 weeks of pregnancy, if you stand for a long time or are too tired, your uterus may experience false labor, which is irregular uterine contractions. Bed rest can improve the condition. But if the pain is regular, occurring every 5-7 minutes, and is accompanied by bleeding or ruptured membranes, premature birth should be suspected. If the pain increases in frequency and intensity, and is located in the lower right corner, it may be a sign of appendicitis. (The appendix is ​​located at the lower right, but as the pregnancy progresses, its position will become higher and higher.) According to traditional Chinese medicine, lower abdominal pain is caused by uterine obstruction, because the embryo expands the uterus and hinders the circulation of qi and blood around it. If the symptoms are not serious, you can focus on replenishing Qi and blood and eat more Qi and blood replenishing foods, such as grapes, pork liver, animal offal, green vegetables, spinach, etc. Being easily nervous and stressed can also cause poor blood circulation, so it is important to relax. Having a doctor diagnose and treat the symptoms is a good way to avoid suspicion and nervousness)
