4 weeks pregnant stomach pain

Pregnancy is caused by the male sperm entering the female ovary and combining with the egg to form a fertilized egg. Pregnancy can pass on to the next generation and is a sacred thing, but from the beginning of pregnancy to the birth of a baby is a very torturous thing for women. During this period, pregnant women often feel abdominal pain. Some people can even feel obvious abdominal pain just after about a month of pregnancy. So what causes abdominal pain during pregnancy?

Specific reasons for abdominal pain in early pregnancy:

1. Uterine enlargement stimulates bones

After you become pregnant, you will feel your belly getting bigger day by day, and then your skin will feel tight. If you love sports, you will feel a dull pulling pain in your abdomen after hiking or playing table tennis, which is similar to normal stomach pain. For some expectant mothers, the enlarged uterus constantly stimulates the lower edge of the ribs, which may cause dull rib pain or pain due to the relaxation and separation of the pubic symphysis, and even lead to limited movement. However, these conditions are normal physiological reactions after pregnancy and do not require special treatment. The pain can be relieved by sleeping in the left side position. Expectant mothers don’t need to worry, the symptoms can be relieved by resting in bed more.

2. Pathological causes such as ectopic pregnancy and uterine adnexal disease

In the early stages of pregnancy, abdominal pain is more obvious and unbearable. Pregnant mothers should undergo a blood hCG test to rule out threatened abortion or ectopic pregnancy, or undergo a further comprehensive physical examination to rule out other uterine adnexal diseases.

1. Ultrasound examination

If you have abdominal pain in early pregnancy, it is recommended to have an abdominal ultrasound examination. Within six to seven weeks of the last menstrual period, it can be confirmed whether the embryonic sac has implanted in the center of the uterus. If an ultrasound is performed through the vagina, the embryonic sac can be seen a week earlier.

2. Pregnancy care

The hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) injection is a common method of preserving pregnancy, but it is best to decide whether to get the injection after understanding the status of hCG and progesterone in the body. You can also try taking Chinese medicine to regulate your body and protect your pregnancy.

3. Abortion treatment

Abdominal pain in early pregnancy, accompanied by abnormal vaginal bleeding, and accompanied by abdominal pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen, may be a sign of miscarriage. In this case, it is important to seek medical attention early. Termination of pregnancy can only be chosen after it is confirmed to be an ectopic pregnancy or that the pregnancy cannot be preserved.
