After getting married for a period of time, many families will naturally consider pregnancy. After successfully preparing for pregnancy, many families will be happy. However, pregnant women may have a harder time during pregnancy, and their bodies will undergo many changes. For example, in the early stages of pregnancy, there may be lower abdominal distension and pain, and they are very worried about whether there is any physical problem or whether it will affect the child. So, what is the reason for lower abdominal distension and pain in pregnant women?
Firstly, it may be due to the enlargement of the uterus during the later stages of pregnancy, which causes the gastrointestinal tract to be compressed. In the early stages, such a situation may not occur, but as the fetus develops, the uterus will be stretched out, so some parts may be squeezed, such as the gastrointestinal tract. This may affect the normal excretion of food and gas from the body, resulting in a feeling of bloating.
Secondly, constipation caused by reduced activity. Many women may eat more food after pregnancy, but due to some inconvenient mobility during pregnancy, they may reduce their exercise and activity appropriately. This may lead to slower gastrointestinal motility, resulting in constipation and bloating.
Thirdly, it is also very likely to be caused by uterine contractions, but if such a situation occurs in the early stages of pregnancy, it is likely a sign of miscarriage, so it is necessary to go to the hospital for relevant examinations.
