I have some pain in my lower abdomen and some redness

For pregnant women, they need to be protected like national treasures, especially in the early stages of pregnancy. This stage is a very critical stage and the time when miscarriage is most likely to occur. Because in the early stages of pregnancy, the condition of the fetus in the mother's body is not very stable. Sometimes even a little bit of movement will cause a certain impact on the fetus, resulting in abdominal pain and bleeding. If this happens, do not ignore it.

What is the reason for slight abdominal pain and a little spotting in the early stages of pregnancy?

The fetus will grow bigger in the mother's belly day by day, and the uterus will expand as the fetus grows. Generally, when the mother is 2 to 3 months pregnant, she will experience lower abdominal pain. Most pregnant women experience this phenomenon, mostly due to uterine enlargement. The enlarged uterus will also continue to stimulate the outer edge of the ribs, causing the mother to feel a dull pain in the ribs. This phenomenon usually occurs in first-time pregnant women. It is a normal physiological phenomenon and the mother does not need to worry too much.

When the baby develops to a certain level, he will sometimes have certain activities, such as rolling over, stretching his legs, etc., and these are symptoms that cause abdominal pain in expectant mothers. In addition, uterine contractions can also cause lower abdominal pain. This situation often occurs in the late pregnancy. The frequency and intensity of uterine contractions will become more and more frequent in the late pregnancy, especially when pregnant women are sleeping at night. The uterine contractions will be more obvious, but the lower abdominal pain will only last for a few seconds. If the abdominal pain is caused by uterine contractions, expectant mothers do not need to worry too much.

Placental abruption is also a cause of abdominal pain in expectant mothers. Pregnant women who suffer from pregnancy-induced hypertension, chronic hypertension, and abdominal trauma are more likely to suffer from placental abruption, which can cause tearing-like pain in the lower abdomen. Some pregnant women even have vaginal bleeding when they have abdominal pain. If the area of ​​placental abruption is larger, the abdominal pain of pregnant women will be more severe. This type of abdominal pain requires special attention.

If abdominal pain in early pregnancy is accompanied by bleeding symptoms, it may be a sign of threatened miscarriage. If this happens, you need to go to the hospital for fetal preservation treatment. While the fetal preservation is being carried out, pregnant women must pay attention to diet, relax, and get plenty of rest. Regardless of whether you have abdominal pain or not, it is recommended to go to the hospital for regular physical examinations to understand the condition of the fetus anytime and anywhere.
