Im around 14 weeks and keep getting this mild pulling pain in lower stomach on and off. Its not very strong but har baar i get a little scared. Is this kind of pain normal at this stage or should i mention it to my doc?
Actually, mild stretching or gas pain is quite common in pregnancy, yaar. But if it is severe or accompanied by cramps or bleeding, please call your gynac immediately. Better to be safe!
Mild pain can happen due to gas or bloating, especially with dietary changes. But please don't take any home remedy or medication without asking. If the pain is severe, contact your doctor right away.
Half the time it's just gas because our digestion goes on strike! But jokes aside, if it's a sharp pain or persistent cramp, don't wait around. Call your doctor and get it sorted.
I had mild cramping in my first trimester which my doctor said was just uterus stretching. But since every pregnancy is different, if you feel the pain is strong or constant, please check with your doctor.
My doctor explained that round ligament pain and gas are common reasons for mild abdominal discomfort. However, she clearly said that if the pain is sharp, constant, or has spotting, one must see the doctor immediately.
