Causes of pain around belly button during early pregnancy

Pregnancy is every woman's top priority. With the improvement of living conditions, every family pays more attention to pregnant women. Many pregnant women experience pain around their belly buttons in the early stages of pregnancy. What is going on? We have consulted authoritative experts in obstetrics and gynecology to hear their answers to this question! We hope that through the following introduction, everyone will be able to understand this issue.

In the early stages of pregnancy, there will be occasional cramps in the lower abdomen, sometimes only on one side, and sometimes the entire lower abdomen will hurt, but it will not be too painful, only a slight cramp. This is mainly because the ligaments supporting the uterus are pulled upward due to the swelling of the uterus during pregnancy. No special treatment is required, just rest. If the pain is severe and unbearable, or it is continuous pain rather than occasional cramps, you need to see an obstetrician and gynecologist.

After a woman becomes pregnant, a series of adaptive changes will occur in various systems throughout the body in order to meet the needs of embryo and fetal growth and development. Although these changes are physiological, they may cause pregnancy discomfort symptoms that are almost pathological. Pregnant women may experience mild abdominal pain due to enlarged uterus and ligament stretching. In addition, the enlarged uterus is softer and more sensitive to pain. Therefore, it is normal for pregnant women to feel abdominal pain occasionally, which is generally tolerable and can be relieved after rest. However, if the abdominal pain is severe, or accompanied by vaginal discharge or bleeding, you should be alert to the possibility of miscarriage or premature birth.

Pain around the navel may be caused by the following reasons: Gastroduodenal disease manifested by: heartburn, loss of appetite, and occasional vomiting. Secondary intestinal diseases (colitis) are manifested as: 1. Diarrhea with mucus in the stool. The stool may be 2-4 times a day, and in severe cases it may be more than 10 times a day. The stool may occasionally contain blood or bloody pus. 2 Abdominal pain: Mild to moderate abdominal pain, limited to the left lower abdomen and lower abdomen, with a pattern of pain-urge to defecate-relief after defecation. 3. Abdominal distension, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting may occur. Three liver and gallbladder diseases can also cause it.

Judging from the experts’ explanation above, it is normal to feel pain in belly button wrinkles in early pregnancy. There is no need to worry too much as it is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, some people are not so lucky. Some vaginal bleeding is a symptom of premature birth. Such people must go to the hospital to protect the fetus, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
