Does your belly hurt during early pregnancy?

After pregnancy, the human body will experience many uncomfortable symptoms as the fetus grows slowly, and mild pain in the abdomen is a common condition. However, there are many reasons for abdominal pain, so pregnant mothers must clearly identify the cause. If the pain is caused by physiological problems, then there is no problem. If it is caused by some pathological reasons, then it needs to be taken seriously to prevent more serious adverse effects.

The following conditions may cause abdominal pain during pregnancy

1. Pain during embryo implantation: When the sperm and egg combine to enter the uterus and the embryo implants, the woman's uterus will undergo great changes. During this process, a small number of women will experience implantation bleeding. Also, when the embryo implants, there will be mild soreness and pain in the lower abdomen, which is somewhat similar to the feeling before menstruation.

2. Referred pain: Before pregnancy, the uterus is about the size of an egg. After pregnancy, as the fetus grows bigger, the uterus will be lifted up and the surrounding appendages and tendons will be stretched. This process will cause mild abdominal pain. This type of pain is not a continuous pain, but an occasional throbbing pain, which is easier to distinguish. This is a relatively normal physiological abdominal pain, which will basically get better after a rest.

3. Uterine contraction pain: After entering the second and third trimester of pregnancy, there will often be latent uterine contractions, and false uterine contractions are accompanied by mild abdominal pain. This is irregular abdominal pain caused by uterine contraction and tightening of the endometrium. If the pregnant mother drinks some warm water and lies down to rest for a while, the symptoms will be relieved. Although abdominal pain in most cases is relatively common, pregnant mothers should not be too careless, because in addition to physiological abdominal pain, physiological abdominal pain may also occur.

Such as abdominal pain caused by ectopic pregnancy and threatened abortion. Abdominal pain due to ectopic pregnancy: Ectopic pregnancy is a relatively dangerous condition. Under normal circumstances, the embryo can implant in the uterine cavity and grow and develop normally. If there is a mistake in the location of embryo implantation, it will lead to ectopic pregnancy. The more typical signs of ectopic pregnancy are vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain. If bleeding and tearing lower abdominal pain occur together in the early stages of pregnancy, and are accompanied by dizziness, sweating, and nausea, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid the dangerous situation of bilateral fallopian tube rupture and internal bleeding. Abdominal pain of threatened abortion: The symptoms of threatened abortion are very similar to those of ectopic pregnancy, also dominated by bleeding and abdominal pain, but this type of abdominal pain is different from ectopic pregnancy. The main thing is that the lower abdomen feels heaviness and pain, plus bleeding, so don't hesitate, go to the hospital as soon as possible.

Basically, there will be some mild abdominal pain throughout pregnancy. If the pregnant mother does not feel any discomfort, she only needs to rest for a while. If there is relatively acute and obvious abdominal pain and bleeding, then do not ignore it. You should consider whether other physiological reasons are causing the abdominal pain, and then seek medical attention in time.
