I am pregnant and my lower abdomen is aching

There are many reasons for dull pain in the lower abdomen after pregnancy. If there is dull pain in the early stages of pregnancy, it may be miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. If you experience dull pain in mid-pregnancy, it may be because the uterus is constantly growing, making your entire lower abdomen feel very uncomfortable. If you feel dull pain in the late stages of pregnancy, you may want to consider whether it is the baby kicking inside or the amniotic fluid breaking, preparing for birth.

1. As the pregnant mother's uterus grows, the edge of the ribs is constantly stimulated and causes pain.

2. As the pregnant mother's uterus gradually enlarges and puts pressure on the stomach, gastrointestinal motility weakens during pregnancy and the stomach muscle tension decreases, which can cause pain.

3. Due to the enlargement of the pregnant mother's uterus and pelvic congestion, the ligaments beside the uterus are affected, which can also cause abdominal pain. If the pregnant mother has a history of cervicitis or appendicitis, pelvic congestion will also irritate these areas and cause pain.

Some pregnant mothers will encounter problems of one kind or another in the early stages of pregnancy. Since it is their first time pregnant and they have no experience, they will inevitably panic when encountering such a situation. However, if the pregnant mother experiences such abdominal pain that is not long-term, not severe, and not accompanied by vaginal bleeding, etc., the pregnant mother does not need to worry. If any abnormalities are found, you should go to a regular hospital for examination to avoid miscarriage or abnormal pregnancy.

In the early stages of pregnancy, pregnant mothers need to calmly deal with emergencies, and they should also pay more attention to the following points in their daily lives to avoid unnecessary accidents:

1. Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy work.

2. While paying attention to nutrition, avoid eating cold foods such as crabs, turtles, purslane, and coix seeds, which may cause fetal miscarriage.

3. Do not smoke or drink, as this will affect the development of the fetus and may even cause miscarriage, deformity, etc.

4. Ensure adequate sleep time and maintain a good mood. Especially pregnant fathers should always care and be considerate of pregnant mothers, because most pregnant mothers are easily excited during pregnancy, and a bad mood will affect the health of the fetus.

5. Avoid contact with toxic substances. In the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus is very fragile. Pregnant mothers should avoid contact with pesticides and other substances containing chemical toxins to prevent miscarriage and stillbirth.

As long as the pregnant mother does the above points during pregnancy, the fetus can generally develop in a healthy environment.
