Doctor's answer:
Hello, in fact, generally speaking, after normal pregnancy, it is common to experience mild abdominal bloating and pain, as well as a sensation of heaviness. Of course, threatened miscarriage can also cause similar symptoms. Since you did not experience these symptoms after your miscarriage, it suggests that you likely do not have pelvic inflammatory disease, otherwise, you would still have symptoms.I recommend that you get adequate rest and visit a regular hospital for a follow-up check-up. During the early stages of pregnancy, sexual activity should be avoided, exposure to radiation should be minimized, and contact with toxic chemicals should be avoided to prevent fetal developmental abnormalities, miscarriage, or other complications. Maintain a balanced diet. Mild lower abdominal discomfort may occur during pregnancy. Some people may feel it as a dull pain, along with chest tightness and nausea, which are normal early pregnancy symptoms. It is advisable to undergo regular prenatal examinations.
