40 days of pregnancy abdominal pain

The bodies of pregnant women are very sensitive and may experience many adverse reactions. Especially in the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus' development is still unstable. Women must take good care of themselves and eat more nutritious foods to avoid miscarriage. Common reactions for women when they first become pregnant include nausea, vomiting, and drowsiness, but some women also experience abdominal pain. So, what is going on if you have stomach pain at 40 days of pregnancy?

I am 40 days pregnant and I always feel stomach pain. What's going on?

1. Ultrasound examination

In the early stages of pregnancy, if you have abdominal pain and bleeding before the fetus is implanted, your obstetrician or gynecologist will usually perform an abdominal ultrasound on you. Because of advanced technology today, it is possible to confirm whether the embryonic sac has implanted in the center of the uterus six to seven weeks after the last menstrual period. If an ultrasound is performed through the vagina, the embryonic sac can be seen a week earlier.

Therefore, if you have abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy, and the pregnancy lasts more than seven weeks, and you cannot see the embryonic sac in the uterus, and there is abnormal bleeding, you should suspect that it is an ectopic pregnancy. It is necessary to do further examination immediately to avoid the ectopic pregnancy from rupturing and causing massive internal bleeding that could endanger your life.

2. Abortion treatment

We should remind everyone that abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy, accompanied by abnormal vaginal bleeding, and accompanied by abdominal pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen, may be a sign of miscarriage.

There are about two reasons why abdominal pain in early pregnancy can cause miscarriage. One is that the embryo itself has chromosomal or genetic abnormalities. The other half of the reasons probably lie with the mother, such as thyroid disease, diabetes, progesterone deficiency, autoimmune disease, or taking substances that are harmful to the body such as smoking, drinking, taking drugs, etc.

Causes of abdominal pain during 40 days of pregnancy

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.

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.

If you experience abdominal pain at 40 days of pregnancy, and it is not caused by gastrointestinal reasons, it is very likely that there is something wrong with the fetus inside the body. If a pregnant woman has abdominal pain and is accompanied by symptoms such as lower body bleeding, she must go to the hospital for observation and treatment to avoid miscarriage of the fetus in the womb.
