More common than thought, reports of pain during pregnancy are unanimous among pregnant women. When we think about getting pregnant, we do not have these discomforts, which most of the times can be very scary! Out of nowhere, from one day to the next, you realize that you are no longer as flexible as before, and that the pains are increasingly present in your belly, in your back, in your ribs, in your whole abdomen.
The pains in the belly during pregnancy are completely normal , but the cause must be investigated and possible problems ruled out . Although worrisome for mom or those around her, these pains can be harmless, just a reaction by the body to hormonal discharge. The pain may vary according to the length of pregnancy you are in.
The pain in the foot belly during early pregnancy may mean that the uterus is expanding. In the beginning, even more when it is a first pregnancy, the uterus tends to be painful when it stretches to accommodate the baby.
The first trimester can be very uncomfortable initially, since all the hormonal activity will certainly affect the structure of a woman who is still used to the discharge of so many hormones. The body starts to receive a large amount of hormones that cause the ligaments and muscles of the abdomen to expand and occasionally cause pain, and a feeling of drawing in the lower part of the belly, below the navel.
In the second trimester, the pains in the belly during pregnancy, may appear higher above the navel, since now, the uterus begins to grow more and more, and exceed the midline of the navel. The pains in the belly in pregnancy, can also be for other reasons, the other organs of the body settling for the new phase of the woman’s life, to make the uterus that carries a baby, the placenta and all the fluids of the pregnancy comfortable.
In the third trimester, abdominal pain may be due to training contractions or simply due to the weight of the pregnancy and the effort of the muscles and ligaments to cope with so many changes in this woman’s body. At the end of pregnancy, around the 29th and 30th week of gestation , the body begins to bend forward, to compensate for changes in the spine axis, so it is very easy to see a pregnant woman complaining of pain in her belly, sides or below the navel.
It is also possible that the pain in the belly is the effect of the baby that moves a lot during this phase, or even that fits in the pelvis. It is also possible for the baby to start playing with the mother’s ribs, this would cause more pain in the sides, but still in the woman’s belly.

When to Worry About Belly Pains in Pregnancy?
The pains are common, but always a warning sign! At the beginning of pregnancy, a growing and acute pain can mean problems, such as an ectopic pregnancy (pain on one side of the body, lower abdomen). Pain below or very close to the uterus may mean that a urinary tract infection is ongoing. It is also common for the newly pregnant woman to experience functional pains, such as the corpus luteum pain for example. Abdominal pain from excess gas is more common than you think. The excess of gas generated by the organism or ingested (soft drinks) or foods that promote greater fermentation manufacturing and consequently the gases in the organism (egg, beans, etc.) can induce a higher concentration of feces, consequently the pain may appear.
The most worrying pain is always the one that grows and is accompanied by bleeding. For risks of miscarriage, the pain is located above the navel or below, close to the bikini line. In more advanced pregnancies, the pain of placental detachment can be acute and this should be a reason to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Alias any and all pain that you may feel, in the belly or not, should be reported to the doctor who accompanies the pregnancy. He will be able to tell you exactly what is worrying or not. Make your prenatal care always up to date and this will facilitate the detection of possible problems. Make your doctor your best friend!

My name is Dr. Alexis Hart I am 38 years old, I am the mother of 3 beautiful children! Different ages, different phases 16 years, 12 years and 7 years. In love with motherhood since always, I found it difficult to make my dreams come true, and also some more after I was already a mother.
Since I imagined myself as a mother, in my thoughts everything seemed to be much easier and simpler than it really was, I expected to get pregnant as soon as I wished, but it wasn’t that simple. The first pregnancy was smooth, but my daughter’s birth was very troubled. Joana was born in 2002 with a weight of 2930kg and 45cm, from a very peaceful cesarean delivery but she had already been born with congenital pneumonia due to a broken bag not treated with antibiotics even before delivery.
