Any expectant mother, even if she is not facing her first birth, is subject to certain fears associated with pregnancy, and even more so if she pulls in the lower abdomen.
As a rule, in most women, the period of the “interesting” situation proceeds calmly, without any complications, without causing unnecessary excitement. And, nevertheless, if a pregnant woman pulls in the lower abdomen, this may indicate significant problems in the body, the cause of which must be determined as soon as possible.
For each trimester of pregnancy, there may be their own types of pain, and for each - their own reason for their occurrence. Conventionally, pain is divided into dangerous and non-dangerous. Non-dangerous include those types of pain in the lower abdomen that do not pose a threat to the expectant mother and her fetus. It can be colic in the intestines, which can occur in absolutely any person and have the appearance of prolonged cramping. This is usually associated with food that a pregnant woman takes. If the stomach pulls, but the pain is minor, the cause may be an underestimated threshold of pain sensitivity, when the baby begins to move in the stomach. In other cases, you need to consult a doctor.
There are a number of diseases during pregnancy that are accompanied by pains, it is simply necessary to know about them.
If it pulls to the bottom of the abdomen on the right, and, in general, no pathologies are detected in the body, there is no discharge, it can be APPENDITITIS. In this case, the pregnant woman will need urgent and qualified medical care (surgical). This is the most dangerous type of pain localized in the lower abdominal cavity. The slightest delay can cost the life of the unborn baby.
If it pulls in the lower abdomen and the pains are accompanied by discharge with blood (vaginal), the cause may be a THREAT of INTERRUPTING PREGNANCY or abortion (spontaneous). This is an extremely dangerous condition in which urgent medical attention is required. Otherwise, pregnancy is unlikely to be saved.
Foci of INFlammation in the reproductive female organs (fallopian tubes, ovaries) are also accompanied by painful sensations, concomitant secretions (purulent) and fever.
If it pulls in the lower abdomen and this sensation is transmitted to the lumbar region of a pregnant woman, spotting appears and the activity of the unborn baby increases, this is the alleged threat of childbirth before the established deadline (premature). Due to the intensity of the development of this type of disease, the quick help of doctors is also required.
Pain in the lower abdomen (pulling, periodic), accompanied by a general weakening of the body, nausea, dizziness, and dry mouth, can be symptoms of PLACENT EXTRACTION.
The cause of pain in the lower abdominal cavity in a future mother can be a sprained ligament and muscle. The fact is that they are stretched due to the enlarging uterus, which the ligaments and muscles support. These pains are temporary, but they can become more significant during physical exertion, overeating and overstrain. They can be caused by excessive tension of the abdomen, severe cough. For pain of this nature, special treatment is usually not prescribed. It is enough to arrange a periodic rest for yourself and lead a calm, peaceful life without worries. Active life in this case is unacceptable.
It does not matter how painful sensations in the lower abdomen of a pregnant woman could be caused, it is important to be able to timely and adequately assess her condition and correctly diagnose the disease. And this can only be done by a good specialist. And if you value your health and the health of your future baby, at the first manifestations of pain, especially in the lower abdomen, immediately consult a doctor.
