When a woman happens to be pregnant, her body undergoes many changes, all of which are caused by changes in hormones in the body after pregnancy. Some women may feel a slight pain in their stomach when they first become pregnant. So, is it normal to have a slight pain in their stomach when they first become pregnant?
It is normal to experience dull abdominal pain during pregnancy, which is caused by the enlargement of the uterus and the pulling of its ligaments. This dull pain usually occurs in the lower left abdomen, lower right abdomen, and other areas. The pain site is not fixed, and the duration of the pain is relatively short. If there are no other abnormalities, it is normal.
When women experience dull abdominal pain, they should pay more attention to rest, avoid overexertion, and refrain from engaging in strenuous sports activities to avoid exacerbating the discomfort. In addition, if a woman experiences severe abdominal pain accompanied by vaginal bleeding and tissue like discharge, she should promptly go to the hospital for examination to prevent threatened miscarriage.
Furthermore, during pregnancy, women may also develop ovarian tumors. If women develop ovarian tumors, they may experience abdominal cramps, ascites, abdominal swelling, and other conditions. Therefore, women should seek medical examination in a timely manner. Women who experience dull abdominal pain and other discomfort symptoms should take it seriously in a timely manner, as ectopic pregnancy and other medical factors can also cause abdominal pain in women.
