Off and on i get this ache across my belly, sometimes after eating sometimes just like that. Im 17 weeks and it comes and goes. Just trying to understand what all can cause belly pain during pregnancy, is it usually nothing serious?
I used to get mild belly aches and freak out every time. Doc said its usually stretching, gas or the growing uterus, very common. Most of mine were harmless and passed. Mild is okay, dont panic.
Mild stretching pain is normal, but severe pain, cramps with bleeding, or fever needs your gynac immediately. Please dont wait it out if the pain is strong. Better safe na.
A lot of my belly discomfort was actually gas and constipation honestly. Small meals and water helped. But if its sharp or constant, dont brush it off, check with doctor.
