I have a slight pain in my lower abdomen when I am pregnant

For women who have just become pregnant, their bodies will actually experience some discomfort. Sometimes, these are normal. Because the sperm implants successfully, the female body's hormones will change, resulting in slight abdominal pain or drowsiness. Of course, not all women experience this problem. Therefore, if you have a dull pain in your lower abdomen when you just get pregnant, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to be on the safe side.

Generally speaking, dull abdominal pain is a common phenomenon in the early stages of pregnancy. There are many reasons for abdominal pain, some of which are normal phenomena of pregnancy, while others represent serious illnesses. The location of abdominal pain in early pregnancy is not fixed. Sometimes it is in the lower left abdomen, sometimes in the lower right abdomen, and the pain lasts for a very short time. After a doctor's examination to determine if there are other abnormalities, this type of abdominal pain usually does not require special treatment. This type of abdominal pain is often caused by the uterus becoming larger due to pregnancy and its ligaments being stretched.

However, if pregnant mothers experience back pain and a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen that does not ease after rest or even gets worse, they should be vigilant. If the lower abdominal pain worsens, is accompanied by vaginal bleeding, and has tissue-like discharge, you should report it to your doctor immediately, as this may be a symptom of threatened abortion.

If symptoms of threatened abortion occur, pay attention to whether there is any tissue discharged in the vaginal discharge at any time. It is best to keep the discharge for your doctor's observation. If the amount of bleeding increases, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately. At the same time, pregnant mothers should rest in bed more and reduce activities, but this does not mean they should lie in bed motionless for 24 hours. They should do some light activities appropriately. Sexual intercourse must be prohibited and unnecessary vaginal examinations should be minimized to reduce stimulation to the uterus. In addition, breast stimulation should be avoided, as it can also cause uterine contractions and lead to threatened miscarriage.

The reason women experience abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy is usually because the uterus enlarges and the round ligament of the uterus is stretched, causing abdominal pain. This pain is mostly located on one or both sides of the uterus in the lower abdomen, and is referred pain, dull pain or lack thereof. The pain becomes more obvious when walking a long distance or changing body position. This condition can be relieved by resting in bed. However, if the abdominal pain is severe or any abnormalities occur, you must seek prompt medical attention.
