Pregnant women cramping above belly button

Pregnancy is a very important event for every woman. Some female friends will be very careful and cautious after pregnancy. With the increase of pregnancy weeks, the abdomen is getting bigger and bigger. Many pregnant women will have pain above the belly button in the late pregnancy. This situation will always confuse every woman. So what is the reason for the pain above the belly button in the late pregnancy? Is it normal?

What is the cause of pain above the belly button during late pregnancy?

1. For example, after catching a cold, the abdomen will feel pain. At this time, pregnant mothers need to keep warm.

2. When the mother begins to be pregnant in the fourth month, the uterus expands rapidly and moves out of the pelvis into the abdomen. The round ligament is stretched and causes pain. The pain is either on the left or the right side. The pain is dull and sometimes gets worse when changing posture. But sometimes the pain goes away without you noticing. This is because the stomach is expanded, so there will be a feeling of being opened around the belly button. In fact, this situation does not need to be solved, but it is recommended that pregnant mothers use lotion to nourish the skin on the abdomen at this time, otherwise it is easy to develop stretch marks.

3. Most of the pain in the late pregnancy is caused by the squeezing of the growing fetus (like my cousin's situation). There is no need to worry about this situation, it is normal.

What to do if you have pain above the belly button during late pregnancy

1. If pregnant mothers experience intermittent lower abdominal pain or standard abdominal pain, back pain, or pelvic pain in the first few months of pregnancy, the problem may be very complicated. If it is accompanied by spotting of vaginal bleeding or a noticeable feeling of heaviness in the abdomen, it may be a sign of threatened miscarriage. Pregnant mothers should move less, stay in bed more, avoid sexual intercourse, avoid lifting heavy objects, drink water, and seek medical attention immediately. If the pain gets worse or the bleeding continues, see a doctor right away.

2. If you experience severe pain on one side of your lower abdomen, accompanied by vaginal bleeding or fainting, it may be an ectopic pregnancy and you should go to the hospital for outpatient treatment immediately.

If a pregnant woman experiences pain above the belly button in the late stages of pregnancy, there is no need to worry too much. If it is a mild pain, the belly button may cause pulling pain as the abdomen expands. Just rest in bed for a while. If the pregnant woman has a little vaginal bleeding along with the lower abdominal pain, she needs to go to the hospital for treatment immediately to avoid threatened abortion.
