  • Is it normal for my uterus to hurt if I'm pregnant?

Is it normal for my uterus to hurt if I'm pregnant?

share

The moment you get pregnant, you begin to experience many sensations. Some are very nice, others not so much. Therefore, it is normal for questions to arise about what is normal and what is not in the development of the baby. In this article, we will talk about troubles in pregnancy -- also known as obstetric conditions. 

Is it normal to feel pain in the uterus at the beginning of pregnancy?

Do you notice pangs in the uterus? Uterine pain is characterized by experiencing mild twinges or cramps in the uterus which can be similar to menstrual period cramps. 

This pain in the first months of pregnancy is common and it is caused by various factors. Although most of these factors are not serious, some will require medical attention.  For this reason, if you notice this pain and, above all, if it is accompanied by vaginal bleeding, you should discuss it with your doctor to make sure that everything is going well.   

What are the possible causes of pain in the uterus?

Some of the possible causes of this pain can be:

  • Stretching of the uterus:  In the first trimester, the uterus begins to stretch to make room for the baby and this can cause these pangs and twinges.

  • Uterus round ligament pain: This is due to the fact that the uterus is growing and the ligaments that support it must move to accommodate that growth. The sensation it causes is stabbing, sharp, sudden, and only lasts a few seconds.

  • Pelvic floor pain: This is also known as pain in the ovaries. This discomfort is usually more noticeable when you walk or climb stairs, for example. 

  • Ovarian torsion: This is the moment when an ovary or Fallopian tube twists around the tissues that support it. 

  • Ectopic pregnancy: This occurs when an egg gets implanted in a place other than the uterus, usually in the Fallopian tubes. An ectopic pregnancy is not viable because, if the embryo continues to grow, it can damage organs or cause life-threatening bleeding. 

  • Spontaneous abortion:  This is the loss of pregnancy before 20 weeks. 

Is abdominal pain also normal in pregnancy?

Generally yes; especially in the first and third trimesters. Pregnant women diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) may find their symptoms worsen during pregnancy, but there are also women with IBS who have no symptoms during this period. 

What does it mean to have a fallen uterus? It is normal?

The fallen uterus is what is known as "uterine prolapse," which is due to the descent of the cervix (neck of the uterus) towards the vaginal opening. This pathology is more frequent in women with pelvic floor problems and no, it is not something to be expected or normal during pregnancy.  

Should I be concerned if I have pain around my belly button when pressing during my pregnancy?

No, it is quite common to feel pain in the navel area. It is usually not dangerous and goes away with time or after delivery.  

Is breast pain normal during pregnancy?

Yes, in fact, it is one of the first symptoms of pregnancy and usually appears soon after conception. It is mostly due to an increase in the hormones that prepare the body for pregnancy.
