Early pregnancy with lower abdominal pain and the urge to have a bowel movement, what's the reason?

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, which leads to the stretching of uterine ligaments. It usually does not affect daily life.
