Is it normal to have stomach pain during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

My wife is now 3 months pregnant. Recently, she often feels a slight pain in her lower abdomen. It's not severe, just occasionally aches a couple of times a day, and then it goes away. She went to the hospital for a check-up, and the ultrasound showed that the fetus is developing normally, with no issues. It's a normal physiological phenomenon, and they just advised her to rest more.
What kind of help do I need: Is it normal to have abdominal pain during pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

In the early stages of pregnancy, some abdominal pain is physiological, meaning it is a normal reaction caused by pregnancy, while some are pathological, possibly indicating the occurrence of crises such as miscarriage. In the early stages of pregnancy, if you feel some stomach pain and sometimes accompanied by symptoms such as vomiting, it is mainly caused by increased stomach acid secretion in the early stages of pregnancy.
