What does the stomach feel like after pregnancy? People who are not pregnant may not know what changes are happening, but pregnant people will have some reactions in their stomachs, some of which are bloated, so sometimes they can't eat so full. Some may experience symptoms of abdominal pain. Let's take a closer look at what causes abdominal pain during pregnancy!
Abdominal pain may occur at different times during the first month of pregnancy. Although doctors say this is a normal reaction in early pregnancy, if pregnant women understand the cause of abdominal pain during the first month, it can not only better alleviate their worries but also prevent abdominal pain. Once the problem is detected, it can be treated promptly. There are three main reasons for abdominal pain in one month of pregnancy:
1. Physiological pain: uterine enlargement
Pregnant women often experience abdominal pain from 1-3 months of pregnancy. Experts point out that the majority of reasons for abdominal pain during this period are due to an enlarged uterus. Therefore, as the fetus gradually develops, the uterus of the pregnant mother will also increase, and the enlarged uterus will constantly stimulate the lower edge of the ribs, leading to a dull pain in the lower abdomen of the pregnant mother.
Abdominal pain caused by uterine enlargement during early pregnancy is a normal physiological phenomenon and does not require special treatment. Pregnant mothers do not need to worry too much.
2. Pathological abdominal pain:
(1) Threatened miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy
In the early stages of pregnancy, if a pregnant mother has threatened miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy, it can also cause abdominal pain, which is mostly sustained lower abdominal pain accompanied by vaginal bleeding. At this time, pregnant mothers need to seek timely treatment at the hospital.
(2) Caused by stomach pain or other illnesses
If a pregnant mother eats spoiled food or food that is too cold and stimulating, it can cause intestinal spasms, leading to abdominal pain. In addition, diseases such as acute gastritis, gastroenteritis, acute pancreatitis, and uterine fibroid degeneration may also be one of the causes of abdominal pain in early pregnancy. Pregnant women who experience these conditions should seek medical attention promptly and receive targeted treatment.
You should know that if you experience abdominal pain during pregnancy, we need to take it seriously. Many times, the less nervous we are, the more serious the consequences may be. If there is bloating or pain in the stomach, we can use some small methods to relieve it, so that we can feel more comfortable and not be disturbed by these symptoms.
