What causes uterine pain during pregnancy?

When it comes to uterine pain, many people will think of the impact of menstruation. In fact, for women, uterine pain is also prone to occur during pregnancy, but there are many causes of uterine pain. There is even a possibility of miscarriage, so what is the cause of uterine pain during pregnancy?

1. If the pain is mild, it may be caused by normal fetal movement stimulation. If the pain is severe or accompanied by mild vaginal bleeding, it is best to see a doctor as soon as possible!

2. It may be discomfort caused by an enlarged uterus. It is caused by the enlargement of the uterus during normal pregnancy, accompanied by the traction of the round ligament of the uterus, and is generally common during the 3rd to 5th month of pregnancy. The pain is usually on one or both sides of the uterus in the lower abdomen, and is dull, dull, or pulling. It usually occurs when the body changes or when walking long distances, and can be relieved by resting in bed.

3. If there is bleeding, it may be caused by threatened abortion

A miscarriage occurs before 28 weeks of pregnancy. The uterine contractions are not strong and the cervix has not opened, which is called threatened abortion. The main symptoms of miscarriage are vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain after menstruation stops. Abortion after 3 months of pregnancy is considered a late miscarriage.

The pain from contractions is more like menstrual pain. Gradually the pain intensified, the intervals shortened, and the pain lasted longer. If the contractions come like a wave, with waves of pain spreading to the lower abdomen, or there is a feeling of lower back pain and defecation, this type of contraction is a sign that the baby is about to be born. If regular uterine contractions occur between 29 and 36 weeks of pregnancy and the frequency is also high, it may indicate that the expectant mother is at risk of premature birth. Uterine contractions can cause the baby's head to press on the mother's rectum, causing a strong urge to defecate. If there is abnormal vaginal discharge or bleeding, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.
