Pain around belly button during pregnancy

During pregnancy, girls will experience certain changes in their physical symptoms. For girls who are pregnant for the first time, they should have enough knowledge and some understanding of their own bodies so as to ensure the health of themselves and the fetus. The second trimester is a very critical period. During this period, pregnant women may feel pain around the navel, which should be taken seriously. So, what does it feel like to have pain around your belly button during mid-pregnancy?

1. What are the causes of abdominal pain during mid-pregnancy?

1. Physiological stomach pain

In the second trimester of pregnancy, physiological abdominal pain is a common condition, which has two reasons. First of all, when a pregnant woman is four or five months pregnant, her belly will suddenly become larger, the skin on her abdomen will become tight, and she may feel pulling pain after slight exercise. It may also be due to dull pain in the ribs caused by the enlarged uterus. Secondly, if the couple's sexual intercourse is too intense during the second trimester, it can also cause stomach pain in the pregnant mother.

2. Pathological abdominal pain

In addition to physiological abdominal pain, abdominal pain in mid-pregnancy is also likely to be caused by pathological reasons. Because, in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, the baby gradually grows, and the pressure in the pregnant mother's abdominal cavity will slowly increase. If the hiatus is too wide, it is very likely to push the bottom of the stomach into the pregnant woman's chest cavity. This is the common "hiatal hernia" in pregnant women. When this happens, food and gas in the stomach can flow back into the esophagus and mouth, causing gastric acid to irritate the esophageal mucosa and cause abdominal pain in pregnant mothers.

2. Precautions during the second trimester

1. Good living habits

Pregnant mothers can do moderate exercise in the morning and evening, such as walking and gymnastics, but they should not engage in strenuous physical labor. You also need to have a regular life and ensure adequate sleep time so that pregnant mothers have enough energy to cope with some situations that arise during pregnancy, which is also beneficial to the development of the fetus in the womb.

2. Do a good job of prenatal check-up during pregnancy

You should also receive regular prenatal checkups during the second trimester of pregnancy to understand the development of the fetus in your womb and your own health status, so as to detect and treat any unexpected situations in a timely manner and avoid any danger.

3. Wear a suitable bra

I believe everyone knows that during pregnancy, the breasts of pregnant women will become larger. As a result, the original bra is no longer suitable for the current pregnant woman, so it is best to prepare a suitable bra for the pregnant woman at this time.
