Occasionally there is pulling pain on both sides during pregnancy

I believe that many people have experienced the phenomenon of inexplicable pain in their lower abdomen, and most of the time this pain disappears quickly, so it does not attract everyone's attention. During pregnancy, if women find pain in their lower abdomen, they will be very worried about whether the baby has any health problems. So what causes the pulling pain on both sides of the lower abdomen during pregnancy?

40 days of pregnancy lower abdomen pain

1. Abdominal pain as an early pregnancy reaction: In the early stages of pregnancy, there may be some abdominal pain and discomfort that is not very severe, but does not last long and is often accompanied by vomiting. This is a manifestation of early pregnancy reaction. Pain in the upper abdomen is mostly caused by the physiological increase in gastric acid secretion in early pregnancy; occasional cramps in the lower abdomen are related to the enlarged uterus pulling upward on the ligaments that support the uterus. These pains and discomforts will naturally disappear as the early stages of pregnancy pass.

2. Uterine fibroids: Uterine fibroids may grow during pregnancy. The impacts on pregnancy include fibroid degeneration and necrosis, fibroid torsion, and direct interference with fetal development or obstruction of delivery. This pain usually comes suddenly, and the pain point is fixed, which is local pain.

3. Ectopic pregnancy: The embryo implants and develops outside the uterus, such as in the fallopian tube, ovary, abdominal cavity, etc. Symptoms of ectopic pregnancy in early pregnancy: amenorrhea, abdominal pain, and vaginal bleeding. If the gestational sac in the uterus cannot be seen through abdominal or vaginal ultrasound at 6 weeks of pregnancy, and human chorionic gonadotropin is excessive in the blood, or even internal bleeding occurs, it can be diagnosed as an ectopic pregnancy.

What should I do if my lower abdomen is swollen at 40 days of pregnancy?

In the early stages of pregnancy, many women who have been pregnant have reported a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen. Under physiological conditions, as the uterus changes in the early stages of pregnancy, the abdomen will feel more obviously distended. The uterus is growing, and the body will definitely feel it. If you have never given birth to a child, the uterus cannot adapt to this situation all of a sudden, and a feeling of distension in the lower abdomen will occur.

In addition, some people experience lower abdominal distension in the early stages of pregnancy due to the pressure on the bladder by the enlarged uterus after pregnancy. It is generally mild and will improve significantly after urination. In this case, no treatment is needed.

If a pregnant woman experiences lower abdominal distension and vaginal bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy, it may indicate threatened miscarriage.

At this time, pregnant women should move less, stay in bed more, avoid having sex, avoid lifting heavy objects, and drink water. If pain worsens or bleeding continues. Immediate medical attention is required.

The above article tells you some precautions for pregnancy. I wonder if you understand? Because pregnancy is not a personal matter, but a family matter, so once our girls feel uncomfortable, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up, especially around 40 days of pregnancy!
