Pain in the lower abdomen in the early stages

Women who have had problems during pregnancy may be more anxious than others. If they have had a miscarriage or any complications during a previous pregnancy, even a slight "sneezing" may be a concern this time around. However, it is important to remember that every pregnancy is unique. If you lead a healthy lifestyle, do not suffer from stress, go to the doctor regularly, do not refuse the help of loved ones, your pregnancy will be positive.

What causes spasms in early pregnancy?

As the uterus stretches to accommodate the growing baby, the muscles and joints that hold it in place also begin to stretch. Some women experience pain, tingling, and discomfort as a result, especially in the first trimester of pregnancy. The blood vessels that supply blood to the uterus become clogged, which can worsen the feeling of heaviness and discomfort. Most often, muscle spasms are felt in the lower abdomen, on one or both sides

Another cause of spasms is a tumor known as lutein body tumor, which occurs where an egg matures and releases it from fertilization. One of the important functions of this tumor is to produce enough progesterone to feed the embryo until the placenta is formed.

I felt the rubbing separations. Why does this happen?

In women, there are sometimes abrasions that have nothing to do with spasms. This is because the embryo enters the uterine wall at this time. This is why bloody discharges usually occur at the same time as menstruation. Such separations are known as implantation separations. If the bleeding is not heavy and not painful, it will pass quickly - after about a day.

Some women have a misaligned uterus on the roof. Sometimes the uterus is bent (bent back) instead of bent forward and almost at the top of the bladder. As the uterus enlarges, it bends to one side more than the other, creating additional pressure on the joints and nerve endings.

What do spasms look like?

Minor spasms, similar to menstrual cramps, occur when the uterus contracts and the pelvis develops a heavy, cramping sensation. Sometimes the pain is worse on one side than on the other. Most spasms occur when you stand upright for long periods of time or at the end of the day. If the pressure in the abdomen suddenly increases, for example, when you sneeze, cough, or laugh, the spasms intensify.

Women describe similar spasms differently. For example, sharp, stabbing, transient, severe, or “simply irritating” spasms - your senses can be described in similar terms.

Some practitioners have suggested that such spasms may indicate uterine growth in early pregnancy. Although the baby grows slowly during the first trimester, the blood supply and hormonal changes in the small pelvic area are significant.

Big changes take place in the body, not because they happen right now, but because they are needed to prepare for the future. If there is no pregnancy, the uterus is almost small. It is made up of muscle fibers that can expand and elongate to much larger sizes than their original size. After such changes, there will be some discomfort and spasms.

Although relief cannot be achieved in this way, understanding the cause and understanding that it will bring some clarity will help to overcome the spasms.

 When to check?

• If you have concerns, doubts, or just need to be reassured

• If you have persistent vaginal bleeding or bloody discharge

• If you have sharp, severe pain in the abdomen or shoulder joints

• If you have a fever or feel unwell

• If you have problems urinating. You will want to go to the toilet, but you will have trouble starting and finishing the process.

• If pregnancy symptoms are more pronounced

What is the concern?

Although spasms are absolutely normal symptoms, they can also be an early sign of miscarriage. Unfortunately, there are few things that can be used to prevent miscarriage. It is estimated that one in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage; in most cases due to chromosomal abnormalities or embryonic problems entering the uterine mucosa.

In some cases, spasms may be a sign that the fertilized egg has implanted in the pelvis instead of being attached to the uterus. This usually happens in one of the fallopian tubes. This condition is called ectopic pregnancy. The fallopian tubes are small organs that are not able to expand like the uterus because their width is only suitable for the passage of a microscopic egg.

Ectopic pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancies are emergencies that require urgent medical attention and can be fatal. It is not possible to save the embryo and it is necessary to remove it with all or part of the fallopian tube. Occasionally, the tube may rupture before surgery. This can lead to additional complications such as shock, bleeding, and infection.

Women who have had surgery on one or both tubes may have problems later in pregnancy. The main task of the surgical intervention is to preserve the health and permeability of the fallopian tube as much as possible without endangering the health of the mother. This is why early qualified care and attention are important when ectopic pregnancies are suspected.

Symptoms of ectopic pregnancy

• Acute or persistent abdominal pain

• Vaginal bleeding or bloody discharge

• Constipation, bloating

• Pain in the shoulders or pain in the flaps may indicate a buildup of blood in the abdomen or under the diaphragm.

• Back pain

• Feeling dizzy, weak, or fainting

What else can cause spasms?

• Appendicitis

• Gallstones or infection in the gallbladder

• Heartburn or indigestion Prolonged pain in the epigastrium may be a sign of heart problems or toxemia in later pregnancy

• Urinary tract infection or kidney infection

• Pancreatitis

• Bowel obstruction

• Pain due to bloating

• Pain in round joints. It is usually felt on the sides of the abdomen and is short-lived and acute

• Sexual intercourse and orgasm can cause the small pelvic veins to fill with blood and become painful. Orgasm causes the uterus to contract for a short period of time, which can cause some discomfort.

When does it stop?

Usually relief comes as the uterus enlarges and is best held in place by the pelvis. Until then, the pelvis and muscles should be able to support the weight of the uterus, and like any other muscle, they can ache and become tired.

 It may be helpful to know the approximate date of delivery and compare it to the date the spasms began. This may explain some of the causes of spasms in early pregnancy.

What can be done to relieve spasms?

• Sometimes you can just change the pose. After lying on the other side, it is necessary to stand, walk a little, do stretching exercises and exercise the body.
  It is helpful to take a warm shower, loosen tight clothing or a tight-fitting belt, or gently massage the abdomen.

• Going to the toilet. Sometimes a full bladder or bowel can cause spasms in the uterus, and emptying a certain area can solve the problem.

• Make sure there is no constipation. Drink plenty of water, eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid processed foods that contain starch. White bread, rice and pasta can cause intestinal obstruction

• You need to sit down, lie down, and force yourself to relax. Muscle tension can usually be relieved by relaxing yourself and doing deep breathing exercises.

If you are sitting, make sure your feet are on a support or a low chair. When the legs are just down, the blood flow does not go up the legs and into the groin area.
