Three months pregnant, stomach pain on both sides

I believe that every pregnant mother will worry about abdominal pain and bleeding in the lower body, because abdominal pain and bleeding in the lower body are two signs of threatened miscarriage. However, it is normal for pregnant mothers to experience abdominal pain sometimes, because this phenomenon shows that the baby is growing in the mother's belly. Is it normal for a woman who is three months pregnant to have pain on both sides of her abdomen?

Why do I have stomach pains when I am three months pregnant?

Abdominal pain is a normal physiological reaction in early pregnancy. Because the uterus enlarges and stimulates the bones, pregnant women will feel a dull pulling pain in the abdomen. But it is worth noting that if the abdominal pain persists and is accompanied by bleeding symptoms, you should be admitted to the hospital for examination immediately. This pathological abdominal pain may indicate signs of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, when abdominal pain occurs in early pregnancy, we must learn to distinguish whether it is physiological abdominal pain or pathological abdominal pain.

Specific reasons for abdominal pain in early pregnancy:

1. Uterine enlargement stimulates bones

After you become pregnant, you will feel your belly getting bigger day by day, and then your skin will feel tight. If you love sports, you may feel a dull pulling pain in your abdomen after hiking or playing table tennis, which is similar to normal stomach pain. For some expectant mothers, the enlarged uterus constantly stimulates the lower edge of the ribs, which may cause dull rib pain or pain due to the relaxation and separation of the pubic symphysis, and even lead to limited movement. However, these conditions are normal physiological reactions after pregnancy and do not require special treatment. The pain can be relieved by sleeping in the left side position. Expectant 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 have a blood HCG test to rule out ectopic pregnancy, and then further do a comprehensive physical examination to rule out other uterine adnexal diseases.

Warm reminder: The above is an introduction to abdominal pain in three months of pregnancy. I hope it can help you. At the same time, when mothers have abdominal pain in three months of pregnancy, for the safety of the baby, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for a detailed examination.
