Patient's question:
At 16 weeks 3, I'm feeling some abdominal pain today, similar to what I experience before my period. Also, my lower back has been really sore lately, making it difficult to sleep flat. My breasts are also tender. Because I have some belly fat, it feels like the baby hasn't grown much. Is there a problem with the baby?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, breast tenderness during pregnancy is normal. During the second trimester of pregnancy, the continuous increase in estrogen levels in the body can cause breast tenderness due to the expansion of milk ducts. If you have some abdominal pain, it may be due to uterine contractions. However, it is still recommended to go to a qualified hospital for a follow-up check-up in the obstetrics department, monitor fetal heart rate, and have a fetal ultrasound to confirm that the fetus is normal. Rest and recuperate, maintain a balanced diet with rich nutrition, and have regular prenatal check-ups. Stay in a good mood. The above advice is for the question "Pregnant for 16 weeks, today I feel a bit of abdominal pain." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
