Why my stomach is paining in pregnancy?

Question

Getting these mild pulling pains on the sides of my pet since morning, 16 weeks now. Not heavy but it keeps coming and going. Is this normal stretching ya should I call my gynac?

Raj Laxmi · Answer

My stomach used to pain just from severe constipation, honestly! Try drinking more water, but if it feels like period cramps, call your doctor right away.

Preeti Natarajan · Answer

Agree, could be normal stretching, but severe pain needs a doctor's checkup. Take care and don't ignore it.

I read that round ligament pain is very common in the second trimester. Is the pain on the sides or in the middle? Hope you feel better soon.

Hey, don't stress too much, it could just be acidity or gas which is super common. Just lie down on your left side for a bit, but if it doesn't go away, call your doc.

Seema Sethi · Answer

Mild stretching pain or gas is very common as the uterus grows. But if the pain is sharp or continuous, please check with your doctor immediately.

With two babies, my belly was a constant war zone of stretching pains and heavy gas! But if you feel severe cramps or any spotting, don't wait and contact your gynac.

Kusum Setty · Answer

As a general rule, mild dull aches from gas or stretching are normal. However, if you experience sharp pain, fever, or any bleeding, it's a medical priority to consult your gynecologist.

I totally understand how scary any pain in the stomach feels during this time. Please rest as much as you can, and do call your doctor just to be completely safe and relaxed.
