Patient's question:
I was wearing tight underwear at 12 weeks pregnant and felt my lower abdomen tight and slightly swollen and sour all day. It made me feel uncomfortable. What impact would this have on the fetus? If I stop wearing tight underwear now, will my baby develop normally?Doctor's answer:
In the situation you mentioned, if you don't feel any tightness or discomfort in your abdomen, it should not affect the fetus. However, during pregnancy, it's important to wear loose clothing as tightness in the abdomen may affect local blood circulation. Primarily, you will experience noticeable discomfort. In more severe cases, it may impact fetal development. Rest well during pregnancy, maintain a positive mood, enhance nutrition in your diet, and undergo regular prenatal check-ups. Wishing you good health.
