I've been having some mild cramping and a dull ache in my lower abdomen. I'm in my early pregnancy and getting a little nervous. Does the uterus hurt in early pregnancy, or is this something I should be concerned about?
Oh, the early days of uterus stretching! Wait till you reach the third trimester where the baby treats it like a punching bag, but yes, mild cramping is totally normal early on.
Along with terrible nausea, I had those stretching pains too in the beginning. It's usually normal, but if the pain is heavy, don't wait and contact your gynac.
I completely understand how terrifying every little ache can feel. Mild stretching pains are very common, but please check with your doctor if it becomes unbearable or if you see spotting.
