The abdomen is hurting during pregnancy: reasons. Can stomach ache during early pregnancy as with menstruation?

Why it hurts, whines, stinging belly, lower abdomen during pregnancy. Why do pregnant women have a stomach ache like with menstruation.

Pregnancy is, in any case, stress for the female body. His reaction is difficult to predict. Some perfectly tolerate their new condition, others may have various problems, including pain in the abdomen.
The reasons for the appearance of such pain in future mothers are different, and if they arise, you need, of course, consult a specialist who will help to establish their true cause.

The first month of pregnancy and in the early months the stomach hurts as with the monthly: the causes of

Since the fertilization of the ovum and up to the birth in the organism of the future mother, processes that can give painful sensations occur. And although these feelings are not very pleasant to the future mother, neither to herself, nor to the baby of danger.

1. The fertilized egg moves towards the uterus and settles in it. A fetal egg, penetrating into the endometrium, irritates or slightly damages the uterine mucosa or even a small blood vessel. This causes minor pain, similar to those that occur before the onset of her menstruation
2. Later, in the first month of pregnancy, the hormonal background of a woman changes dramatically. In particular, progesterone is actively synthesized, which is responsible, among other things, for preparing the endometrial layer to ensure that the fertilized egg is fixed in it, and the pregnancy was normalized. This can also cause some pain in the area of ​​the uterus
3. . In the same period, the woman is waiting for the ligaments to gradually progress, the condition of the spine changes, since changes in the center of gravity of the body occur. After all, the uterus, along with the embryo in it, does not just become bigger, but changes its position in the body of the organism. Its bottom rises higher relative to the organs, respectively, the uterus retaining the ligament undergoes stretching

Pain above the pubic bone can soon accompany embryo attachment to the uterine wall.

Ectopic pregnancy

If a woman is constantly hurting under the navel in the early stages, pains that increase in intensity, radiating in the leg, hypochondria, rectum, gynecologist, first of all, will send her to ultrasound to make sure that the fetus is whereit is laid, in the uterine cavity.

is necessary to exclude an ectopic pregnancy , which happens if the fertilized egg does not complete its passage to the uterus, but is attached outside its cavity - in one of the fallopian tubes, cervix, etc. The fetal egg grows and develops by breaking the fallopian tube. The pain syndrome develops. In the end, if you do not stop this process at the start, an overgrown fetal egg, exceeding the diameter of the fallopian tube, can break it.

Pain syndrome occurs in the case of an ectopic pregnancy.

Ectopic pregnancy is a serious obstetric-gynecological problem and threatens the health of a woman with organ rupture and internal bleeding.

The threat of pregnancy disruption

IMPORTANT: To hurt in the abdomen of the future mother can and because of the threat of miscarriage

1. Tone of the uterus is strengthened, which provokes detachment of the fetal egg and its expulsion
2. The pregnant woman whines and pulls over the pubic bone, gives back. She has bloody discharge - from slight, pinkish, to bright red-scarlet
3. . If there is a suspicion of a threat of spontaneous abortion, the only solution here is ambulance and hospitalization. Waiting for an ambulance to arrive, the woman should be at rest

If a woman whose pregnancy is only a few weeks old, feels painful as during menstruation, and also blood is coming, a threat of miscarriage is likely.

Yellow body cyst

Pain in the internal genital area of ​​a pregnant woman may appear due to the cyst of the yellow body.

Cyst of the body.

The yellow body is a temporary organ that produces progesterone, its function is to maintain pregnancy, form the placenta.
Sometimes it happens that the yellow body grows, its size does not correspond to the norm.

This condition is called a yellow body cyst. The yellow body cyst does not represent a special threat to the pregnant woman, however it can give not a strong and not sharp, but pain, localized in one place. In the cyst of the yellow body of a pregnant woman, rest and some changes in the behavioral regimen that the gynecologist will tell her are recommended.

Relapses of chronic diseases

There is a tendency that during the gestation period of a child, expectant mothers are aggravated with those diseases that they chronically suffered before pregnancy, and from which the abdomen hurts.

Chronic diseases of the abdominal cavity during pregnancy often give a relapse.

For example, if before the woman became pregnant, the woman had diseases of the digestive tract or genitourinary system, then during pregnancy or due to violations of the regime, they can become aggravated.

Appendicitis

IMPORTANT: Appendicitis is another possible cause of abdominal pain in a woman waiting for a child

Improper diet

Discomfort is not necessarily associated with an "interesting position."Everyone knows the whims of future mothers in food when they want a cake, and after it - with half a can of pickles, then sweets, followed by shrimp. Similar sharp jumps in a food provoke infringement of a motility of an intestine, a meteorism, occurrence of pains. To discomfort gone, a woman needs to more or less balance her diet.
