Probably every mother knows and remembers how she trembling and caring, paid special attention to herself and her condition during pregnancy, how she was worried about every tiniest question, frightened by small and not very pleasant pain sensations confirming changes in her body. And each one probably wondered: why do stitching pains occur in the stomach? The answer to this question cannot be unequivocal.
If you interview all the women who have already had to be pregnant, everyone will show you one or another pain that they had to endure during this wonderful state - bearing a child. A feeling of discomfort is necessarily present with changes in the body of the mother and her baby, growing up in her womb. The future mother has stretched muscles, ligaments, a small pelvis diverges . It is these changes and manifests itself in that it pricks the lower abdomen. Sometimes this is not so significant and does not cause discomfort to a pregnant woman, but often this feeling is quite unpleasant. In the first trimester of pregnancy, a woman almost all the time feels that she is stabbing in the lower abdomen. Most often, such pains are suffered by those women who painfully experienced the days of menstruation before pregnancy.
If a woman pricks in the lower abdomen, this is very puzzling and worrying, because the expectant mother is responsible for bearing her dearest and most beloved baby in the world. It becomes especially scary when such pains occur in the abdomen, where the baby develops.
Every expectant mother must be aware that in the process of bearing a child it is worth paying attention not to the nature, but to the intensity of the pain. If something worries you very much, consult a doctor immediately.
Some reasons why it pricks in the lower abdomen, we can give right now. For example, if you have a stomach ache, this may be an indicator of uterine hypertonicity. If the pain is not severe, you can just lie down, relax and rest, and the pain will calm down. But if suddenly the pain is severe and at the same time there are incomprehensible discharge from the genital tract, urgently go to your doctor, do not expect complications.
But during the bearing of a child, stitching unpleasant pains can occur in other organs of our body.
If it pricks in the lower abdomen, it may mean that you have stagnation of stool, constipation and flatulence, and, as a result, intestinal colic.
It happens that acute tingling pain is a symptom of acute appendicitis.
When pains are felt not in the center of the abdomen, but in its right part, then most likely it is inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis).
Another cause of stitching pain can be a pancreatic disease, namely pancreatitis. But at the same time, pain is felt not in the lower, but in the upper abdomen.
Pricking in the lower abdomen It can also be ordinary cystitis, during which when filling the bladder and during urination unpleasant stitching and pulling pains appear. This is due to the inflammatory process in the bladder. Sometimes such colic is a symptom of sexually transmitted infections.
I would like to separately highlight the pathology - isthmic-cervical insufficiency. It appears after a woman has suffered a cervical or isthmus injury. Common causes of its occurrence can be called childbirth, abortion, the birth of a large child with the help of obstetric forceps. As a result, the cervix opens so that it is not able to hold the fetal egg, because of this it drops down. In this case, a pregnant woman feels unpleasant stitching pains in the vagina. This is very dangerous, especially until the sixteenth week of pregnancy. For this reason, it may be interrupted.
Be attentive to your feelings: they will help to prevent the disease in time.
