What causes abdominal pain during pregnancy?

As we all know, when we eat spoiled food, our stomach will ache. At this time, even if we don’t take any action, the stomach pain will gradually improve. But for pregnant women, if they have symptoms of hidden pain in their stomach, it cannot be ignored. So, what is the cause of hidden pain in the stomach during pregnancy? Let me analyze it for you below, and I hope everyone can pay attention to their body at all times.

Stomach pain is a normal reaction in early pregnancy. Because the uterus enlarges and stimulates the bones, pregnant women will feel a dull pulling pain in the abdomen. However, if the abdominal pain persists and is accompanied by bleeding symptoms, you should be admitted to the hospital for examination immediately.

Abdominal pain is a normal physiological reaction in early pregnancy. Because the uterus enlarges and stimulates the bones, pregnant women will feel a dull pulling pain in the abdomen. But it is worth noting that if the abdominal pain persists and is accompanied by bleeding symptoms, you should be admitted to the hospital for examination immediately. This pathological abdominal pain may indicate signs of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, when abdominal pain occurs in early pregnancy, we must learn to distinguish whether it is physiological abdominal pain or pathological abdominal pain.

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 may 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 have a blood HCG test to rule out ectopic pregnancy, and then further do a comprehensive physical examination to rule out other uterine adnexal diseases.

From the above, we can see that the reason why women experience abdominal pain during pregnancy is mainly due to the stimulation of the bones by the enlarged uterus, as well as ectopic pregnancy and uterine adnex diseases. Therefore, if abdominal pain occurs during pregnancy, women should pay attention to finding the corresponding causes and then take measures to deal with it.
