I have a dull pain in my stomach when I am 2 months pregnant. What is the reason for the pain in my stomach when I am 2 months pregnant?

Some new mothers experience dull abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy. Whether these symptoms are normal has become the most worrying issue for mothers. Today, let’s talk about the causes of abdominal pain in early pregnancy.

There are two types of abdominal pain in early pregnancy

In the early stages of pregnancy, some abdominal pain is physiological, that is, a normal reaction caused by pregnancy, but some is pathological and may indicate the occurrence of crises such as miscarriage.

1. Physiological abdominal pain In the early stages of pregnancy, many expectant mothers always feel some stomach pain, sometimes accompanied by vomiting and other early pregnancy reactions, which is mainly caused by increased gastric acid secretion in the early stages of pregnancy. At this time, you should pay attention to diet adjustment. The diet should be light and easy to digest. You can eat some toasted steamed bread slices or soda crackers for breakfast. As the early stages of pregnancy end, the discomfort will naturally disappear.

2. Pathological abdominal pain If you have abdominal pain in early pregnancy, especially pain in the lower abdomen, you should first consider whether it is a pregnancy complication. Common complications include threatened abortion and ectopic pregnancy.

① If expectant mothers have paroxysmal lower abdominal pain or regular abdominal pain, back pain, or pelvic pain in the first few months of pregnancy, the problem may be more complicated. If accompanied by vaginal spotting or a noticeable feeling of abdominal falling, it may indicate threatened abortion. Expectant mothers should move less, stay in bed more, avoid sexual intercourse, avoid lifting heavy objects, drink water, and seek medical attention in time. If the pain worsens or bleeding continues, you need to see a doctor immediately.

② If there is severe pain in the lower abdomen on one side, accompanied by vaginal bleeding or fainting, it may be an ectopic pregnancy and you should go to the hospital immediately. Some expectant mothers think that abdominal pain in early pregnancy may be accidental and it doesn't matter, just lie in bed and rest. This blind measure of bed rest to protect the fetus is not advisable. You should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid delaying the condition.

What causes abdominal pain during pregnancy

1. Abdominal pain in early pregnancy

This may be because the uterus is growing, and this situation is not a big deal.

2. Women often report symptoms such as sourness, warmth, and upper abdominal pressure.

It is the result of the stomach being compressed by the enlarged uterus. In addition, the gastrointestinal motility is weakened during pregnancy, the stomach muscle tension is low, especially the sphincter of the cardia of the stomach is relaxed, which causes the stomach contents to flow back into the lower esophagus, irritating the esophageal mucosa and causing a burning sensation in the stomach area.

3. It may also be due to uterine enlargement and pelvic congestion

Because the ligaments beside the uterus are affected by the enlarged uterus, there will be a sore and dull pain in the lower abdomen, especially near the roots of the thighs on both sides, that is, near the groin. The abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy is generally not serious and does not affect the normal development of pregnancy. If there is a history of cervicitis and chronic appendicitis, the irritation of the pelvic congestion symptoms on the inflamed area will also cause such discomfort.

4. Is it a pregnancy complication?

Common complications include threatened abortion and ectopic pregnancy. If expectant mothers experience paroxysmal or regular abdominal pain in the first few months of pregnancy, it may indicate threatened abortion. If the pain worsens or bleeding continues, you need to see a doctor immediately.
