In early pregnancy, because the fetus is relatively small, it cannot be seen from the appearance of the pregnant woman. Women who are anxious about getting pregnant often have psychological awareness and illusions, always feeling that some of their symptoms represent pregnancy. So maintaining a calm mind to prepare for pregnancy can increase the chances of conception, and excessive psychological pressure can affect the combination of sperm and egg. So is having a hard lower abdomen pregnant? What are the symptoms during early pregnancy?
Is it pregnant if the lower abdomen is hard
A hard lower abdomen cannot determine pregnancy. Because the uterus only extends beyond the pelvic cavity after 3 months of pregnancy, the hard uterus cannot be felt in the lower abdomen, and it cannot be felt in the abdomen before 3 months of pregnancy.
Physiological abdominal pain may occur during early pregnancy: In the early stages of pregnancy, many expectant mothers may experience some stomach pain, sometimes accompanied by vomiting, which is mainly caused by increased secretion of stomach acid during early pregnancy. In addition, in early pregnancy, due to the continuous growth of the uterus, it compresses the surrounding nerve tissue and organs, causing abdominal distension and pain.
Symptoms during early pregnancy
1. Menstrual cessation
If a couple has had sexual intercourse before and after ovulation, has not taken contraceptive measures, has a normal menstrual cycle, and suddenly experiences amenorrhea for more than 5 days, it is possible to become pregnant.
2. Nausea and vomiting
Starting from around the 5th week of pregnancy, many pregnant women experience morning sickness. Especially in the morning and evening, nausea may occur without any reason. The cause of morning sickness is currently uncertain, but data suggests that it may be related to human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). At the beginning of pregnancy, the level of chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in the human body begins to increase, and the higher the level of this hormone, the more likely it is to feel nauseous.
3. Breast swelling and softness
After one or two weeks of conception, your breasts will become swollen and softer. Due to pregnancy stimulation, the pregnant woman's body produces a lot of estrogen and progesterone, causing the glands in the breasts to start growing, resulting in the breasts becoming larger. These hormones also allow the breasts to retain more fluid, making them sore and soft.
During the preparation for pregnancy, both men and women should supplement with vitamins and proteins to enhance their immune system. Only in this way can there be high-quality sperm and eggs, providing conditions for better fertilization and implantation. At the same time, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, and women should supplement with folic acid to prevent fetal malformations. The above is an introduction to whether someone with a hard lower abdomen is pregnant. I hope it can be helpful to everyone.
