pregnancy are present throughout the entire pregnancy, but are particularly felt in the very early to early stages, and calm down somewhat in the middle trimester. In the second trimester, abdominal distension may occur again. Causes of abdominal distension include pre-term labour, cold, fatigue\/stress, tightness of the abdomen, constipation\/gas\/urine, fetal movements, twins, sexual activity and uterine fibroids.

Many pregnant women may not know what it feels like or what the sensation is, but it can be felt gradually.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"\/nipt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/tummy-tension01.jpg\" alt=\"\u304a\u8179\u304c\u5f35\u308b\u3063\u3066\u3069\u3093\u306a\u611f\u3058\uff1f\" class=\"wp-image-30603\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"c3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_period_when_your_stomach_is_upset\"><\/span>The period when your stomach is upset<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stomach distension can be divided into two main categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Physiological abdominal upset<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Danger signal that some kind of trouble is occurring<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The abdomen is said to be tense throughout the entire pregnancy, but it is felt most frequently in the very early to early months of pregnancy, when the uterus is growing rapidly, and it settles somewhat in the second trimester, after which it is felt again in the last trimester of pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"c3-1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ultra-early_stage_of_pregnancy\"><\/span>Ultra-early stage of pregnancy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most abdominal distension in very early pregnancy is a physiological phenomenon.

If the abdomen is frequently tense or lasts for a long time, there may be a problem and it is recommended to see a doctor as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"c3-4\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Post-pregnancy\"><\/span>Post-pregnancy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In late pregnancy, as the belly grows, the uterus contracts due to the baby&#8217;s lower position and the strain on the lower back and lower abdomen. This is felt as abdominal distension. The baby is moving in the abdomen day and night. The baby moves around in the abdomen, kicking and turning, which is another cause of a distended abdomen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"c4\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Causes_of_abdominal_distension\"><\/span>Causes of abdominal distension<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are some of the causes of abdominal distension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Imminent premature birth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chilling exposure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fatigue, stress<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tightening of the stomach<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Constipation, gas, urine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nipple massage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fetal movement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Twins<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sexual intercourse<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fibroid<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other, unknown cause<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"c4-1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Imminent_premature_birth\"><\/span>Imminent premature birth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In imminent premature birth, abdominal distension occurs frequently between 22 and less than 37 weeks&#8217; gestation. The most common subjective symptoms are abdominal cramps, lower abdominal pain, bleeding and water breaking.

If you feel an upset, lie down, sit down or try to rest. In fact, there is no clear evidence that rubbing your stomach improves an upset stomach, but this does not mean you should not rub it. However, avoid rubbing with too much force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"c5\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequency_of_abdominal_distension\"><\/span>Frequency of abdominal distension<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your stomach is upset more often than usual, if the upset does not get better with rest, or if you are repeatedly upset at regular intervals, you may be experiencing some kind of abnormality. It is a good idea to count how many times a day your stomach is normally upset in order to compare it with abnormalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"c6\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"See_a_doctor_if_you_have_any_of_these_symptoms\"><\/span>See a doctor if you have any of these symptoms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It may be difficult to determine whether it is physiological or caused by illness.

Tummy upset and bleeding can be handled differently depending on the time of pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"c6-1-1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ultra-early_pregnancy%EF%BD%9EThe_first_trimester\"><\/span>Ultra-early pregnancy\uff5eThe first trimester<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Very early pregnancy to early pregnancy bleeding can lead to miscarriage. Bleeding can vary from brown discharge, light pink or red bleeding. Causes of bleeding in early pregnancy include polyps and erosions as well as miscarriage. If you are concerned about even a small amount of bleeding, contact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"c6-1-2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mid-pregnancy-2\"><\/span>Mid-pregnancy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Bleeding in mid-pregnancy can lead to polyps, erosions and impending premature labour. It is advisable to consult an obstetrician even if the bleeding is small. If you feel an upset stomach, you can first rest and wait and see if the symptoms subside, but if there is bleeding or the upset stomach does not subside, you should see a doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"c6-1-3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Up_to_37_weeks_of_pregnancy\"><\/span>Up to 37 weeks of pregnancy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>From 37 weeks of pregnancy, the baby is ready to be born. During this period, there is a possibility of a sticky pink to red haemorrhage known as a &#8216;Udder&#8217;. In the case of a &#8216;wince&#8217;, you can wait and see what happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if there is a large flow of blood or red bleeding, it may be an emergency bleed such as early abruption of the normal placenta, placenta previa or pre-eclampsia. Be sure to contact.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"\/nipt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/tummy-tension02.jpg\" alt=\"\u304a\u8179\u306e\u5f35\u308a\u304c\u53ce\u307e\u3089\u306a\u3044\u3068\u304d\u306f\u75c5\u9662\u3078\" class=\"wp-image-30606\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"c6-2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tension_is_not_subsiding\"><\/span>Tension is not subsiding<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To determine whether it is a physiological contraction of the uterus or not, lie or sit down for an hour or so and see what happens.

If it is difficult to determine this yourself, contact a hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the second trimester of pregnancy, the abdomen may suddenly become tickly and the pain may become more and more intense. This may be due to a condition called &#8216;premature separation of the normal placenta&#8217;, in which the placenta detaches from the uterus. If this is the case, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. In rare cases, placenta previa can also cause abdominal cramps that do not stop.
