Help explain why the lower abdomen has been cramping frequently since pregnancy.

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, there are many reasons for abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy. Some of them are normal physiological phenomena. Generally, physiological abdominal pain is not very severe and occurs for a very short time. It is mainly caused by the expansion of the uterus after pregnancy, leading to the stretching of uterine ligaments.
