I have a little stomach pain in the second month of pregnancy. Is it okay?

The second month of pregnancy is the early stage of pregnancy. At this time, there are many possibilities for pregnant women to experience abdominal pain, which may be physiological or caused by disease. It is difficult to figure out the cause of stomach pain based on just one characteristic. A comprehensive judgment needs to be made based on the characteristics, location, duration, etc. of the pain. Let’s first look at the possible reasons. So, is it okay to have a little stomach pain in the second month of pregnancy? Let’s take a look at it below.

1. Abdominal pain in early pregnancy may be due to the growth of the uterus, which is not a serious problem.

2. Women often complain of symptoms such as sourness , warmth, and upper abdominal pressure, which are the result of stomach pressure caused by the enlarged uterus. In addition, gastrointestinal motility weakens during pregnancy, the stomach muscle tension is low, especially the gastric sphincter is relaxed, causing the gastric contents to flow back into the lower esophagus, irritating the esophageal mucosa and producing a burning sensation in the stomach area.

3. Due to the enlargement of the uterus and pelvic congestion, the ligaments beside the uterus may be affected by the enlarged uterus, causing a feeling of soreness and dull pain in the lower abdomen, especially near the roots of the thighs on both sides, that is, near the groin. Abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy is generally not serious and does not affect the normal development of the pregnancy. If there is a history of cervicitis and chronic appendicitis, the irritation of the pelvic congestion symptoms on the inflamed area will also cause such discomfort.

4. Is it a pregnancy complication? Common complications include threatened miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy. If a pregnant woman experiences paroxysmal or regular abdominal pain in the first few months of pregnancy, it may indicate threatened miscarriage. If pain worsens or bleeding continues, seek medical attention immediately.

What to do if you have stomach pain during pregnancy

If the pain is only vague and lasts for a while before disappearing, the pregnant woman only needs to pay a little attention. If the pain persists and does not subside for a long time, you need to go to the hospital for the following treatment:

1. Check whether it is an ectopic pregnancy : If you have abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy and bleeding before the fetus is confirmed, and if the pregnancy lasts more than seven weeks and the embryonic sac in the uterus cannot be seen through B-ultrasound, it may be an ectopic pregnancy. Further examination and confirmation are needed to avoid heavy bleeding caused by ectopic pregnancy and endanger your life.

2. Treatment of miscarriage: Abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy accompanied by abnormal vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain and other symptoms may be signs of miscarriage. The cause of miscarriage in early pregnancy may be chromosomal or genetic abnormalities in the embryo itself; it may also be that the pregnant mother suffers from autoimmune diseases such as diabetes, or takes certain medications, smokes, drinks, etc.
