What causes bloating in early pregnancy?

After pregnancy, a woman's body will undergo many changes, one of the most typical of which is abdominal distension and pain, which usually occurs in the early stages of pregnancy. Since pregnancy concerns the entire family, the occurrence of bloating makes family members very worried. So, what is the cause of belly bloating in early pregnancy? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

From the early stages of pregnancy to the late stages, most pregnant women will feel their belly getting harder. In fact, this is an irregular contraction of the uterus. The intervals and duration of uterine contractions are long and short. Relatively speaking, the duration of uterine contractions in early pregnancy will be shorter, and may become longer and longer in late pregnancy. Generally speaking, there is no pain, but some pregnant women can feel it obviously. After the second trimester, the uterus rapidly enlarges and the ligaments around the uterus change from their original relaxed state to a tense state, especially the pair of round ligaments located on the front side of the uterus, which can also cause traction pain.

If there are no symptoms of vaginal bleeding or water breaking, and the fetal movement is normal, pregnant mothers should not be too nervous, as this is just normal uterine contraction. When abdominal pain comes, if the pregnant mother is at work, she can put down the work at hand, sit down and rest. If the abdominal pain is severe and accompanied by vaginal bleeding or water breaking, it may be a sign of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy or premature birth, and you must seek medical attention immediately.

The above is an introduction to abdominal bloating in early pregnancy. I hope it will be helpful to everyone’s understanding. When abnormal conditions occur during pregnancy, you must actively look for the cause and then take effective measures to resolve it to avoid causing serious harm to the health of the pregnant woman or even affecting the baby in the belly. This must be taken seriously.
