What is the cause of pain on both sides of the pregnant woman's stomach?

Many pregnant women report that they often feel pain on both sides of their lower abdomen during pregnancy. Is this normal? In fact, slight pain on both sides of the lower abdomen is normal, but if the pain is unbearable, you must go to the hospital for examination to avoid unnecessary harm to the pregnant woman and the child. So what is the cause of lower abdominal pain in early pregnancy? Let's take a look at it.

What should I do if I feel pain on both sides of my lower abdomen in the early stages of pregnancy? It may be that the embryo is implanted in the uterine cavity in the early stages of pregnancy. A small number of women experience implantation pain. As the uterus grows and the round ligament of the uterus is stretched, many pregnant women 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. If it comes out in the left groin, it is likely that the fertilized egg is implanting.

But again, if the pain is severe or accompanied by other complications, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up.

There will be abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy. Abdominal pain is a normal physiological reaction in early pregnancy. Because the uterus enlarges and stimulates the bones, pregnant women will feel a dull pulling pain in the abdomen. But it is worth noting that if the abdominal pain persists and is accompanied by bleeding symptoms, you should be admitted to the hospital for examination immediately. This pathological abdominal pain may indicate signs of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, when we experience abdominal pain in early pregnancy, we must learn to distinguish it.

Everyone has different early pregnancy symptoms. Some people are sleepy, some are afraid of the cold, some feel uncomfortable when they smell oil, and some have stomach pain... These symptoms usually appear 6 weeks after amenorrhea and generally last until 3 months of pregnancy. Everyone's situation will be different, which is related to personal hormones. Some people's early pregnancy reactions last longer and may not disappear until 16-18 weeks.

From this we can see that although abdominal pain in early pregnancy is a common phenomenon, it does not necessarily occur in the early stages of pregnancy. If the pain is severe, it should be taken seriously.

Reasons for abdominal pain in early pregnancy Abdominal pain in early pregnancy is a common physical reaction of pregnant women in the early pregnancy. Generally, it is physiological abdominal pain caused by pregnancy reaction and does not require treatment or other special treatment. Some are pathological and require vigilance and timely treatment.

Why does the stomach hurt in early pregnancy? There are several possible reasons for stomach pain:

1. Uterine enlargement stimulates bones

After you become pregnant, you will feel your belly getting bigger day by day, and then your skin will feel tight. If you love sports, you may feel a dull pulling pain in your abdomen after hiking or playing table tennis, which is similar to normal stomach pain. For some expectant mothers, the enlarged uterus constantly stimulates the lower edge of the ribs, which may cause dull rib pain or pain due to the relaxation and separation of the pubic symphysis, and even lead to limited movement. However, these conditions are normal physiological reactions after pregnancy and do not require special treatment. The pain can be relieved by sleeping in the left side position. Expectant mothers don’t need to worry, the symptoms can be relieved by resting in bed more.

2. Pathological causes such as ectopic pregnancy and uterine adnexal disease

In the early stages of pregnancy, abdominal pain is more obvious and unbearable. Pregnant mothers should have a blood HCG test to rule out ectopic pregnancy, and then further do a comprehensive physical examination to rule out other uterine adnexal diseases.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone should have understood why there will be pain on both sides of the lower abdomen in the early stages of pregnancy, but the same old saying still applies: "If the pain is severe, you must go to the hospital immediately, don't just ignore it at home." Because severe pain may indicate an ectopic pregnancy or something, once you know you are pregnant you must go to the hospital to confirm it, so that you can clearly know whether it is a normal pregnancy.
