I always feel uncomfortable in my stomach after pregnancy

The symptom of always feeling abdominal discomfort after pregnancy is a normal early pregnancy reaction, because abdominal distension will occur during pregnancy, which is mainly caused by the development of the fetus. In addition, morning sickness and drowsiness will also occur in the early stages of pregnancy. Therefore, we should have some understanding of the symptoms after pregnancy. If you always feel stomach discomfort after pregnancy, you can read the following content to find out the reason.

Do you always feel stomach discomfort after pregnancy?

After the menopause in the early stages of pregnancy, pregnant women will gradually feel some abnormal phenomena, which are called early pregnancy reactions. It is normal for you to have stomach discomfort. Most pregnant women will experience symptoms such as fear of cold, fatigue, drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, regurgitation, loss of appetite, picky eating, preference for sour food, aversion to greasy food, vomiting, dizziness, fatigue, and listlessness to varying degrees. These symptoms will last for 3 months for most people. Unless you have severe nausea and vomiting, you don't need to see a doctor. Otherwise, these are normal phenomena in early pregnancy.

It may be cholestasis of pregnancy. It often occurs in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, with skin itching as the main symptom, and the itching is more severe at night than during the day. Some people may also experience yellowing of the skin, which often occurs 2 weeks after the itching. Severe cases may also be accompanied by liver damage. Examination will reveal that the mother's bilirubin and bile acid indicators are high, and the bile acid level can even be about 100 times that of a normal pregnant woman. The main harm of this disease is the adverse effect on the fetus. The increased concentration of bile acid in the blood affects the excretion of meconium. The obstruction of meconium excretion in turn affects the delivery of nutrients to the fetus by the umbilical cord, which can easily induce spontaneous premature birth, intrauterine growth retardation, intrauterine fetal hypoxia, and intrauterine fetal death. Intrauterine fetal death is sudden and difficult to predict.

Cholestasis of pregnancy has no obvious harm to pregnant women and will not leave chronic liver damage. The clinical symptoms of cholestasis of pregnancy usually disappear on their own within 1-2 weeks after delivery.

What are the common symptoms in early pregnancy?

1. Early pregnancy reaction

Many pregnant women often experience some pregnancy reactions and stomach discomfort in the early stages of pregnancy. Experts point out that these are normal phenomena, and pregnant women can effectively alleviate this phenomenon as long as they pay more attention to rest. The abdominal discomfort caused by pregnancy reactions is most serious in the middle stage of pregnancy. Most pregnant women often experience some not very severe abdominal pain and discomfort, but it does not last too long. Some pregnant women also have symptoms such as vomiting.

The reason for stomach discomfort is mostly due to the physiological increase in gastric acid secretion in early pregnancy, while the occasional cramps in the lower abdomen are closely related to uterine enlargement. These will not cause any adverse effects.

2. Enlarged uterus

After a period of pregnancy, many pregnant women will experience symptoms such as abdominal distension and pain. Experts point out that pregnant mothers do not need to worry too much about this situation. If it is not due to overeating or digestive system diseases, it is very likely caused by an enlarged uterus. Especially after 3-4 months of pregnancy, the symptoms of lower abdominal distension and pain are more obvious. This is because the uterus grows faster during this period, which causes the organs around the uterus to be squeezed and cause pain.

Generally speaking, as the pregnancy progresses, the symptoms of the uterus compressing the surrounding organs will gradually improve, and a large number of pregnant women will not experience symptoms such as lower abdominal distension and discomfort in the later stages of pregnancy.
