Pain in lower body during early pregnancy

Women are in the most sensitive stage during pregnancy, during which they should pay attention to arranging rest and diet, especially to avoid abdominal pain and physical fatigue. If a woman has contractions, the causes are very complicated, but we often encounter them. So what is the cause of the stabbing pain below in early pregnancy? Let's discuss a simple explanation below.

Causes of abdominal pain in early pregnancy:

1. Caused in early pregnancy. Women often experience symptoms such as sourness, nausea, and upper abdominal discomfort because the enlarged uterus causes pressure on the stomach. In addition, during pregnancy, gastrointestinal motility weakens, gastric muscle tension is low, especially the relaxation of the gastric cardia sphincter, which causes gastric contents to reflux into the lower esophagus, irritating the esophageal mucosa and causing a burning sensation in the stomach.

2. Caused by enlarged uterus. It may be due to the enlargement of the uterus and pelvic congestion that the cruciate ligaments beside the uterus are affected by the enlarged uterus, causing a dull pain in the lower abdomen, especially near the inner thighs on both sides, that is, around the groin. Abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy is generally not severe and does not affect the normal development of pregnancy. If there is a history of cervicitis and chronic appendicitis, the irritation of pelvic congestion to the inflamed area may also cause such discomfort.

3. Miscarriage. In fact, in the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus is very unstable, which means that if you are not careful, it may cause miscarriage. Abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy may be a sign of miscarriage, so it is recommended to have a check-up.

4. Excessive uterine pressure. Another point to note is that some women may suddenly have a baby in their belly in the early stages of pregnancy, which may cause them to be under too much pressure and may cause stomach pain, which is relatively normal.

5. Ectopic pregnancy. If you have abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy and there is bleeding before the location of the fetus is confirmed, and if you are more than seven weeks pregnant and still cannot see the gestational sac in the uterus through B-ultrasound, it may be an ectopic pregnancy. Further examination and confirmation is needed to prevent ectopic pregnancy from causing internal bleeding and seriously endangering your life.
