During different stages of pregnancy, the pregnant woman's body will undergo different changes, and abdominal pain is the most common. Abdominal pain during pregnancy can be divided into many types.

Is it normal to feel a sinking feeling in the belly during pregnancy?

During the development of the embryo, the pregnant woman's uterus will gradually grow larger, and the pregnant woman will feel uncomfortable at this time. If the pregnant woman has lower abdominal pain, it is normal and the pregnant woman does not need to worry too much. However, if the abdominal pain is intermittent or continuous lower abdominal pain, and there is vaginal bleeding, it may be a sign of miscarriage and you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

In addition to uterine development and threatened abortion, a variety of causes of lower abdominal pain in pregnant women may cause acute abdominal pain during pregnancy. For example, intestinal cramps caused by eating spoiled or overcold food can make pregnant women feel stomach pain. In addition, diseases such as acute gastritis, gastroenteritis, acute pancreatitis and degeneration of uterine fibroids can also cause pregnant women to feel abdominal pain. Therefore, if it is acute abdominal pain, you should go to the hospital in time for symptomatic treatment to avoid worsening of the condition or miscarriage.

Most of the lower abdominal pain in pregnant women can be attributed to the uterus becoming larger due to pregnancy, which causes the ligaments to be stretched. In addition, the changes in the relative positions and compression of organs during pregnancy can also cause dull pain or even cramps in the lower abdomen. These stomach aches are normal. Some abdominal pain during pregnancy may indicate some bad situations. The most common abdominal pain during pregnancy is threatened abortion, ectopic pregnancy, uterine fibroids and pregnancy. These situations are more difficult and must be dealt with promptly once they occur.

Pregnant women in the 6th month may experience abdominal pain and a feeling of falling in the lower abdomen. This pain is mostly located on one or both sides of the uterus in the lower abdomen, and presents as cramping, bloating and a feeling of falling, but it usually does not pose a threat to pregnancy. At this time, pregnant mothers must be sensitive to abdominal pain, but don’t worry about similar hidden pains. Just pay attention to rest. It is best to lie on the left side when resting, which can effectively reduce the feeling of pain. At the same time, avoid walking long distances, and remember to walk in moderation.

In addition to abdominal pain caused by the ligaments around the uterus, or abdominal pain caused by normal fetal movement and contraction, many abdominal pains during pregnancy are signs of abnormal conditions, so once they exceed normal indicators, expectant mothers should be careful.

Generally, pregnant women are prone to this feeling of lower abdomen falling, especially in the late pregnancy, this situation may be more serious. First of all, don't be too nervous. The above content has also introduced in detail the causes of lower abdomen falling in pregnant women. You can take a look.
