Is it normal to have stomach pain during pregnancy?

Women who have just become pregnant need special attention to their bodies, because miscarriage often occurs in the early stages of pregnancy, so they should protect their bodies. However, some women experience so much abdominal pain as soon as they become pregnant. This is relatively rare, but it should attract people's attention and it is a sign of miscarriage that needs to be avoided. Moreover, the mental and psychological pressure on women who have just become pregnant is very great, so they should be given some mental relief. But is it normal to have stomach pain during pregnancy?

Why do I have stomach pain during early pregnancy? Is it normal?

Abdominal pain one month into pregnancy will occur at different times for different pregnant women. Although doctors say this is a normal reaction in early pregnancy, if pregnant mothers understand the cause of abdominal pain one month into pregnancy, it will not only help alleviate their worries, but also help prevent abdominal pain better, and provide timely treatment once a problem is discovered. There are three main reasons for abdominal pain during pregnancy:

1. Physiological pain: The uterus enlarges, and pregnant mothers usually experience abdominal pain starting from 1-3 months of pregnancy. Experts point out that the reason why most pregnant women experience abdominal pain at this time is mostly due to the enlarged uterus. Therefore, as the fetus gradually develops, the pregnant mother's uterus will also increase. The enlarged uterus will constantly stimulate the lower edge of the ribs, causing the pregnant mother to have a dull pain in the lower abdomen.

Abdominal pain caused by the enlargement of the uterus in the early stages of pregnancy is a normal physiological phenomenon. No special treatment is required and pregnant mothers do not need to worry too much.

2. Pathological abdominal pain: (1) Threatened abortion or ectopic pregnancy. If pregnant women have threatened abortion or ectopic pregnancy in the early stages of pregnancy, they may also suffer from abdominal pain. This pain is mostly continuous lower abdominal pain accompanied by vaginal bleeding. At this time, pregnant women need to go to the hospital for treatment in time.

(2) Stomach pain or other diseases. If the pregnant mother eats spoiled food or food that is too frozen and irritating, it will cause intestinal cramps and cause stomach pain. In addition, diseases such as acute gastritis, gastroenteritis, acute pancreatitis, and uterine fibroid degeneration may also be one of the causes of abdominal pain in early pregnancy. Pregnant mothers who experience these conditions need to go to the hospital in time for symptomatic treatment.
