Early lower abdomen sometimes feels heavy and distended, is this normal?

Patient's question:

Please ask if it's normal to have occasional lower abdominal heaviness and fullness in early pregnancy? Does every pregnant woman experience this? Pregnant people tend to overthink, and they don't want to have an ultrasound. Thank you for answering in detail...

Doctor's answer:

Hello: According to your situation, there should be no major problems. Pay attention to rest.
Precautions in Daily Life during Early Pregnancy:
1. Healthy pregnant women can continue their regular work and labor, but should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor.
2. Pregnant women should maintain a good living environment with clean, well-ventilated rooms, preferably at a temperature of 20–22°C.
3. Fats are particularly harmful to pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy, so they should avoid cooking during this time.
4. Pregnant women should bathe and change their underwear frequently. Generally, each bath should not exceed 15 minutes, and it is recommended to take a shower. The water temperature should not be too high, as excessively hot water can harm the fetal brain cells.
5. Pregnant women should not smoke, and they should also avoid living in smoky environments, as this can affect fetal development, leading to miscarriage or malformations.
6. Pregnant women should maintain a good mood, and their husbands should pay special attention to caring for and comforting their wives. Avoid emotional excitement, as an unpleasant mood can have a negative impact on fetal brain development.
7. Avoid watching TV for long periods or at close range. Pregnant women should maintain a distance of at least 2 meters from the screen and should not watch thrilling TV programs.
8. Ensure 8–10 hours of sleep daily, in addition to normal work.
9. Use common skincare products, and avoid applying lipstick, nail polish, perming, or dyeing hair.
10. Try to avoid
