4 weeks pregnant lower abdomen pain like period pain

Pregnant women's physiological needs, some dietary structures and living habits, pregnant women themselves and their families should not be careless, thinking that these manifestations are not life-threatening, so as to avoid the occurrence of misfortune. So why does a pregnant woman feel menstrual pain in her lower abdomen at 4 weeks of pregnancy?

1. What is the reason for dysmenorrhea in early pregnancy?

Under normal circumstances, abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy is normal, just like menstrual pain. The abdomen will feel a little bloated because the implantation of the fertilized egg and the development of the embryo promote the expansion of the uterus, which will cause abdominal pain in expectant mothers. If the pain does not last long, and there is only a little pain sometimes, pregnant mothers do not need to worry too much. When the menstrual period still does not come after the due date, it is recommended that pregnant mothers see a doctor to confirm whether they are pregnant. Generally, they should go to the hospital for examination 10 or 15 days after the menstrual period. The test results will be more accurate at this time, and B-ultrasound or B-ultrasound can be done to confirm whether it is an ectopic pregnancy and whether the embryo development is good. There is no need to use pregnancy test strips to test at home privately. Pregnancy test strips may also have unexpected results, so a confirmed diagnosis from a hospital outpatient clinic is the strongest confirmation. So what is abnormal stomach pain?

1. Ectopic pregnancy. After the sperm and egg meet, they need to find a suitable place for the embryo to implant in order to cultivate a healthy baby, and this suitable place is the uterus. However, the naughty sperm and egg may meet outside the uterus, and when they are unable to enter the uterus, the embryo will implant outside the uterus, perhaps in the fallopian tubes or somewhere else. If this is the case, as the test tube embryo gradually grows and develops, the body's organs will not be able to adapt to the survival of the baby, and they will protest, and the pregnant mother will experience stomach pain. At this time, you must see a doctor to confirm whether it is an ectopic pregnancy. Once an ectopic pregnancy is diagnosed, surgical treatment is required.

2. Threatened abortion and habitual abortion. Some young women did not protect themselves well before marriage, and they often had pregnancies and miscarriages. As a result, the uterine cavity would be scraped thinner due to abortion operations and could not bear the weight of the embryo, resulting in threatened miscarriage or habitual miscarriage. If the abdominal pain is caused by miscarriage, it will also be accompanied by vaginal bleeding. If threatened miscarriage is discovered in time and the fetal heartbeat is normal, the fetus can be treated by bed rest and taking progesterone and other fetal preserving drugs.

2. Is back pain normal in early pregnancy?

It is normal to have back pain in the early stages of pregnancy. The following is a detailed introduction to the symptoms of early pregnancy: The main symptoms of early pregnancy are nausea, vomiting, anorexia, back pain, fatigue, etc. Generally, it will be repaired within one month during pregnancy, and it may last until April or May.

1. Intermission of menstruation: This is the most common sign of pregnancy that people notice. If a woman is of childbearing age and has normal menstruation, and her sexual intercourse lasts for more than half a month beyond the normal menstrual period, she may be pregnant. But it does not mean that you are pregnant if your period does not come. There are many reasons for the missed period, such as poor uterine and ovarian function, abnormal male hormones, busy work, exam anxiety, etc., which can all cause delayed menstruation. Therefore, it is best to get a doctor's diagnosis, which is the safest.

2. Breast pain, swelling and itching: Breast pain, swelling and itching are physiological phenomena in early pregnancy. In addition, there will be other changes such as darkening of areola color, obvious veins in subcutaneous tissue of breast and obvious protrusion of nipple.

3. Frequent feeling of nausea and vomiting: Basically, many pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy often experience feeling of nausea and vomiting, especially at the beginning of the day. This condition varies from person to person. Some people have very mild symptoms, while others have very severe symptoms. Unless you have severe nausea and vomiting, you don't need to see a doctor, otherwise these are all normal conditions in early pregnancy.

4. Changes in skin color: may cause skin pigmentation or stretch marks in the abdominal cavity, especially in the later stages of pregnancy.
