Dull abdominal pain during early pregnancy

At 42 days of pregnancy, it is still in the early stages of pregnancy, when pregnant women and fetuses are most prone to problems. The 42nd day of pregnancy is already the 6th week of pregnancy.

What causes abdominal pain in early pregnancy

Stomach pain is a normal physiological need in early pregnancy. As the uterus enlarges and stimulates the bones, pregnant women will feel a dull stretching pain in the abdomen. But it should be noted that if persistent abdominal pain is accompanied by bleeding symptoms, you should be hospitalized for examination immediately. This physiological abdominal pain may be a sign of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, when abdominal pain occurs in early pregnancy, we must learn to distinguish between physiological abdominal pain and physiological abdominal pain.

Actual causes of stomach pain in early pregnancy

1. Uterine enlargement stimulates bones

During pregnancy, you may feel your abdomen getting bigger day by day, and then your skin will feel tight. If you like sports very much, you will feel a vague stretching pain in the abdomen after a spring outing or playing badminton, which is similar to the usual stomach pain. For some pregnant women, the enlarged uterus constantly stimulates the outer edge of the ribs, which may cause rib pain or pain due to the relaxation and separation of the ischial tuberosity, and even cause limited movement. However, this situation is a normal physiological need during pregnancy and does not require special treatment. The pain can be relieved by sleeping on the left side of the mother. Pregnant 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 do a blood hCG test to rule out threatened miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy, or further do a comprehensive physical examination to rule out other uterine adnexal diseases.

What to do if you have stomach pain in early pregnancy

1. Ultrasonic inspection

If you have abdominal pain in early pregnancy, it is recommended to have an abdominal ultrasound examination. Within six to seven weeks from the last menarche, it can be determined whether the gestational sac is implanted in the center of the uterus. If an intravaginal ultrasound examination is performed, the gestational sac can be seen a week in advance.

2. Pregnancy care

The hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) injection is a common method of preserving pregnancy, but it is best to decide whether to do so after understanding the hCG and progesterone levels in the body. To regulate the body of pregnant women and nourish the fetus, you can also try taking Chinese herbal medicine.

3. Solution to miscarriage

Abdominal pain in early pregnancy, accompanied by abnormal vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, and lower abdominal discomfort, may be a sign of miscarriage.
