Im around 10 weeks and on and off I get this pulling type pain in my lower pet. Its not severe but enough to make me tense. Planning to mention it to my gynac, just wanted to know if its common.
Mild cramping can happen due to gas, constipation, or round ligament stretching. However, if the pain is sharp, constant, or accompanied by any bleeding or fever, please contact your gynac immediately. Never ignore severe abdominal pain during pregnancy.
Sometimes our bodies just feel a lot of stretching and pressure as the baby grows. Just rest as much as you can and drink warm water. But if the pain doesn't go away, please check with your doctor, dear.
I panicked so much during my first trimester over every little stitch in my stomach! But my doctor reassured me that mild, temporary cramps are very normal as the uterus expands. Just lie down on your side for a bit and see if it gets better.
I can only share that I had mild stomach pain due to acidity and dehydration in my second trimester. Drinking coconut water and resting on my left side really helped me. But since every body is different, please consult your gynac if you feel uncomfortable.
My pregnancy app always reminded me that digestion slows down during pregnancy, which causes a lot of gas and bloating pain. I used to track my fiber intake and water daily to avoid this. But if your pain is severe, the app always recommended calling the doctor.
I am in my 5th month and I also get mild stretching pain on the sides of my belly sometimes. My doctor said it's just the ligaments stretching to make space for the baby. But are you having any severe cramps or spotting along with it?
