Good friend is 28 years old, her period has been delayed for more than ten days, and she doesn't know if she is pregnant, she is quite nervous. Please ask: what should I do if I have a slight abdominal distension and pain in the early stages of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Mild abdominal pain during pregnancy is normal and is caused by the shrinkage of the uterus. However, if the abdominal pain is severe and accompanied by bleeding, it is important to be cautious of threatened miscarriage. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a check-up and take medication to support the pregnancy if necessary. Rest is essential during pregnancy to prevent overexertion. Moderate exercise, a balanced diet, and proper nutrition should be maintained. Keeping a calm and positive mood is also important. Intercourse should be avoided during the early stages of pregnancy.
