Doctor's answer:
Hello: Physiological abdominal pain can occur during early pregnancy. In the early stages of pregnancy, many expectant mothers often feel some stomach pain, sometimes accompanied by nausea and vomiting. This is mainly due to increased stomach acid secretion in the early stages of pregnancy. Additionally, during the early stages of pregnancy, as the uterus grows continuously, it compresses the surrounding nerves and organs, which can cause abdominal distension and pain. If you experience intermittent sharp abdominal pain, regular abdominal pain, lower back pain, accompanied by spotting or a noticeable sensation of abdominal heaviness, it may indicate threatened miscarriage and requires immediate medical attention.
