What causes stomach pain in the first three months of pregnancy?

Everyone knows that the first three months of pregnancy is a dangerous period of pregnancy. The fetus is not yet stable, so the mother must be cautious in everything she does. Pregnant women are also very nervous in the first three months, especially abnormalities in the abdomen and vagina make pregnant women think of miscarriage. Now let’s discuss whether it is normal to have abdominal pain in the first three months of pregnancy?

Is it normal to have stomach pain when preparing to get pregnant for 3 months?

If you have abdominal pain during the third month of pregnancy, and if it lasts for a short time and has stopped, it may be caused by indigestion; if the pain persists for a long time, you should consider the following reasons:

1. Physiological abdominal pain. For example, the enlargement of the uterus pulls the surrounding ligaments, which can cause abdominal pain. This type of abdominal pain mainly occurs when there are changes in posture such as standing up and lowering the head. In addition, the stretching of ligaments in other parts of the pregnant woman's body can also cause abdominal pain. This type of abdominal pain does not require special treatment and is normal.

2. Uterine fibroids. The abdominal pain caused by uterine fibroids will come relatively suddenly and is local pain, in other words, pain in a fixed area. This condition needs to be treated in time.

3. Uterine and ovarian tumors. Uterine and ovarian tumors can also cause abdominal pain, which is manifested as severe pain, abdominal discomfort, abnormal swelling of the abdomen, etc. In this case, you must go to the hospital immediately.

4. Ectopic pregnancy. If you have abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding in the third month of pregnancy, it is likely an ectopic pregnancy, which is a disease that seriously threatens the health of pregnant women. You need to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment immediately.

5. Threatened abortion. Abdominal pain in three months of pregnancy may also be threatened abortion. The clinical symptoms are mild lower abdominal distension and pain, and the pain is paroxysmal. This type of condition requires immediate medical attention.

What to do if you have stomach pain during pregnancy

1. Physiologically, at 3 and a half months of pregnancy, the uterus enlarges and the round ligament of the uterus is stretched, and many pregnant women feel some abdominal pain. This type of pain is mostly located on one or both sides of the uterus in the lower abdomen, presenting as referred pain, dull pain or dull pain. The pain will become more obvious when walking a long distance or changing posture. Pregnant mothers don’t need to worry, the symptoms can be relieved by resting in bed more. In addition, excessive force during sexual intercourse in the second trimester of pregnancy can also cause abdominal pain in expectant mothers.

2. It is physiological abdominal pain. If you experience abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy, especially pain in the lower abdomen, you should first consider whether it is an indication for cesarean section. Common complications include threatened miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy.

It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations and ask a professional doctor to diagnose the cause of your abdominal pain. The condition was subsequently resolved with symptomatic treatment.

After the introduction of the above content, I believe everyone knows the reasons for abdominal pain in the third month of pregnancy. If it is menstrual pain, then don’t worry about it, just worry about other diseases. Therefore, if pregnant women feel unbearable pain, vaginal bleeding, etc., they should go to the hospital for examination in time and should not delay. I wish the baby and mother good health.
