In every woman’s life, confirmation of pregnancy by a doctor is a joyful event, because now there will be two of you. Waiting for a small miracle is a great time when a future mother can afford to escape from all external problems and engage only in her own health and fetal development.
In the early stages of pregnancy , a complete reorganization of the hormonal background occurs, since the body creates favorable soil for the development and vital activity of the embryo. It was at this time that the woman was pursued by constant fatigue and the desire for a sound, long sleep. If there is such an opportunity, then it will not be superfluous to refuse to work already in the first trimester, heavy production work is especially unfavorable.
In order to save the child and ensure a healthy atmosphere, it is necessary to take intensive care of the health and well-being of the future mother. Now the woman should fully comply with the daily regimen recommended by the doctor. Of course, the diet should be reviewed and excluded all harmful products. After all, the fetus should be fully saturated with useful substances and microelements, and for this only natural products should be present in the diet.
While the embryo is fixed on the uterine wall and the body is rebuilt to ensure its vital functions, the woman experiences some unpleasant sensations. The most common of these is toxicosis, when any smell or type of food can cause nausea and vomiting. There is nothing wrong with this, you just need to isolate yourself from the products causing this reaction to the maximum.
There are situations when the stomach is pulled in the first weeks of pregnancy. Such feelings are experienced by most women. As a rule, there is nothing dangerous in this and soon a small ailment will pass. It is best to protect yourself from an active sex life for the first 10 weeks, since the fetus has not yet fully fixed itself on the uterine wall and an abortion, that is, a miscarriage, may occur. In the second trimester, sexual relations are allowed and do not represent any harm to the fetus.
But in some cases, it is worth paying attention to what the stomach pulls during pregnancy. If the discomfort lasts long enough, we can assume the presence of an increased tone of the uterus, or the so-called hypertonicity. Usually, the abdomen is pulled at the beginning of pregnancy when the expectant mother experiences constant physical activity. No less dangerous are any infectious diseases and stressful situations. Then the body begins to fight the virus or stabilize the nervous system, and the uterus does not develop properly, which, in turn, can lead to rapid reduction of the walls of the uterus, and therefore, increased tone.
If the stomach is pulled in the first weeks of pregnancy, additional consultation with a doctor and examination will not hurt. It is better to secure the life of the unborn child in advance and verify the normal development of the embryo. An increased tone of the uterus can be triggered by a malfunction in the endocrine system. For example, when a large amount of the hormone progesterone is produced that interferes with the functioning of the placenta, then the stomach pulls in the first weeks of pregnancy. This situation cannot be ignored, since the frequent contraction of the walls of the uterus contributes to the expulsion of the embryo and can lead to spontaneous abortion.
Often, when the stomach is pulled in the first weeks of pregnancy, the doctor conducts an examination, after which he can make a preliminary diagnosis. Then, an examination of ultrasound and tonometry (an apparatus that measures the tone of the uterus) is performed. Only after carrying out these procedures, the specialist gives a final conclusion. If hypertonicity was confirmed during, then the baby is not in danger. There are drugs that relieve muscle tension of the uterus, which are prescribed to a woman.
