1. What causes lower abdominal pain during pregnancy?

The most common cause of abdominal pain in early pregnancy is the enlargement of the uterus and the extension of the uterine ligaments. Usually this pain is not severe and may cause some discomfort but will not affect your daily life. The location of the pain is not fixed, sometimes in the left lower abdomen, sometimes in the right lower abdomen, and the pain lasts for a very short time. As the fetus continues to grow, the burden on the expectant mother's abdomen and body gradually increases. In addition, as delivery approaches, the frequency of abdominal pain will increase significantly compared to the second trimester.

But sometimes pregnant women have stomach pain because they eat something too cold or spoiled food, which causes gastrointestinal discomfort.

My sister is in this situation, so you must pay attention to a healthy diet during pregnancy, do not eat anything that is too hard or too cold, and don't eat spoiled food. If a pregnant woman experiences intermittent abdominal pain, a heavy pain in the lower abdomen, and bleeding from the vagina, this may be a sign of miscarriage and she should go to the hospital immediately.

2. What to do if pregnant women have stomach pain

Under normal circumstances, abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy is normal, just like menstruation, and the abdomen will feel a little bloated. Many women don’t care too much about this, but if they still have abdominal pain in the middle of pregnancy, many women will panic.

Around 4 months of pregnancy, the uterus enlarges and the round ligament of the uterus is stretched, and many expectant mothers will feel some abdominal pain. This type of pain is mostly located on one or both sides of the uterus in the lower abdomen, and is referred pain, dull pain or lack thereof. The pain becomes more obvious when walking a long distance or changing body position. Expectant mothers don’t need to worry, the symptoms can be relieved by resting in bed more.

In the second half of pregnancy, the baby gradually grows and the pressure in the expectant mother's abdominal cavity also increases. If the female's esophageal hiatus (the hole through which the esophagus goes down to connect to the stomach) widens at this time, "esophageal hiatal hernia" may occur, and abdominal pain is more likely to occur.

Accompanied by symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, chest pain, acid reflux, and hiccups. Experts recommend: Eat small and frequent meals, and avoid foods that are too sweet, too spicy, or too sticky. Do not lie flat on the bed or lie too low after meals, and try to bend over as little as possible to reduce the risk of constipation.

Acid reflux; keep bowel movements smooth.

Pregnant women should reduce their activity, stay in bed more, avoid sexual intercourse, avoid lifting heavy objects, and drink water. If pain worsens or bleeding continues, seek medical attention immediately.
