Is early pregnancy bleeding and abdominal pain normal?

There are two situations in which bleeding and abdominal pain occur in early pregnancy. One is physiological abdominal pain, which is also accompanied by stomach pain, vomiting and other reactions. There is no need to worry too much, just adjust it appropriately; the other is pathological abdominal pain, which is also accompanied by lower abdominal prolapse, etc. If not treated in time, it may cause threatened abortion and ectopic pregnancy.

1. Physiological abdominal pain:

In the early stages of pregnancy, many pregnant women always feel stomach pain, sometimes accompanied by early pregnancy reactions such as vomiting. The main cause of these early pregnancy reactions is increased gastric acid secretion in the early stages of pregnancy. The diet should be light and easy to digest. With the end of the early pregnancy period, the vomiting early pregnancy reaction will gradually disappear.

2. Pathological abdominal pain:

Another type of abdominal pain in early pregnancy is obvious abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy, characterized by lower abdominal pain. The first thing you should consider is whether it is a pregnancy complication. Common complications include threatened miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy.

3. Abdominal pain caused by early pregnancy that is not caused by pregnancy:

Some diseases in early pregnancy can also cause abdominal pain in women, but these diseases are not directly related to pregnancy, such as appendicitis, intestinal obstruction, cholelithiasis and cholecystitis.

Pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy may experience early pregnancy abdominal pain in the first few months, with obvious paroxysmal lower abdominal pain or regular abdominal pain, back pain, and pelvic pain. At the same time, there may be vaginal spotting or a heavy feeling in the abdomen, which may indicate the possibility of threatened miscarriage. Women in early pregnancy should reduce strenuous exercise, stay in bed more, avoid sexual intercourse, avoid lifting heavy objects, and drink more water. If the pain worsens or the bleeding continues, it is necessary to see a doctor.

If the early pregnancy reaction is obvious unilateral lower abdominal pain, accompanied by vaginal bleeding or ugly fainting, it may be a symptom of ectopic pregnancy. At this time, you should go to the hospital for an ultrasound (B-ultrasound) examination to find out whether there is an ectopic pregnancy and observe whether the gestational sac is implanted in the uterus. If an ectopic pregnancy is confirmed, the pregnancy should be stopped in time and treated actively to reduce the risk to the woman's life.

Some pregnant women believe that abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy may be accidental and it is okay. They just need to lie in bed and rest for a while. This measure of bed rest to protect the fetus is not advisable. You should go to the hospital for examination and treatment to avoid delaying the disease. If it is an ectopic pregnancy, you must go to the hospital for appropriate treatment, otherwise your life will be in danger.
