Can pregnancy cause stomach pain
Yes, you can experience stomach pain during pregnancy. It's quite common, and the reasons can vary depending on which stage of pregnancy you're in.
In early pregnancy, you might feel cramping similar to period pain as your body adjusts to the changes. Later on, the growing uterus can put pressure on your organs, leading to discomfort. Other common causes include gas, bloating, constipation, or even Braxton Hicks contractions (false labor pains).
However, it's important to pay attention to the type and intensity of the pain. If you experience severe or persistent pain, especially if accompanied by bleeding, fever, dizziness, or vomiting, you should consult a doctor immediately to rule out any serious complications like ectopic pregnancy or preterm labor.
For mild discomfort, you can try gentle exercises, stay hydrated, and eat smaller, more frequent meals. If you're concerned, it's always best to speak with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
Wishing you a healthy and comfortable pregnancy!
