What’s wrong with my newly pregnant stomach?

When you are newly pregnant, you experience daily discomfort in your stomach, caused by pregnancy itself, such as the appearance of lower abdominal distension and vague pain, similar to menstrual cramps before menstruation, and also nausea, vomiting, constipation and bloating. Discomfort in the stomach occurs due to the increase of estrogen and progesterone and chorionic hormone values in the body after pregnancy, the decrease of gastric acid secretion and the slowing down of gastrointestinal peristalsis, plus the fertilization of the egg, which will cause the uterus to increase in size and press on the bladder and rectum. When these symptoms occur, it is not recommended to treat them with medication and to rest more in bed. After 12 weeks of pregnancy, the uterus protrudes into the pelvis and gets significantly better. In the early trimester, it is not recommended to have sex, which can easily cause miscarriage. Usually, the diet should be comprehensive and nutritious, and you should go to the hospital for regular maternity checkups and seek medical attention whenever you feel uncomfortable.
