I'm just a few weeks pregnant and I've been having some mild stomach pain and cramping. Is this normal in early pregnancy, and what usually causes it? I'm a bit worried.
I am only 7 weeks pregnant and I also get mild pulling sensations in my lower stomach sometimes. My doctor said it's just ligament stretching, but I still get a bit scared. Are your cramps like mild period pains, or are they different?
Listen, mild cramping is totally normal because your uterus is stretching to make space for the baby. It also happens due to gas and constipation. But if the pain is very sharp, continuous, or you see any bleeding, stop asking here and go straight to your gynac.
When I had mild stomach pain in my first month, my mother-in-law told me to drink warm water and avoid heavy lifting. She said the body is adjusting to the new life. But she also warned that if the pain is severe, we must visit the doctor immediately.
Please be very careful with early stomach pain. I had severe pain in my first pregnancy which turned out to be an ectopic pregnancy. If the pain is sharp on one side or accompanied by spotting, please contact your gynecologist immediately without delay.
Welcome to the world of gas and stretching, haha! In early pregnancy, progesterone slows down digestion, causing major bloating and mild cramping. If it's just mild, it's normal, but if it feels like someone is stabbing you, please call your doctor immediately.
