Tingling in the lower abdomen during pregnancy - tummy tuck
With the onset of pregnancy, the life of a woman is gradually and inevitably changing. Preparations for the forthcoming labor activity are underway, and the body of the mother and the body of the child are changing. Such significant changes can not go unnoticed either by external signs or by internal sensations. A woman should be ready for the appearance of new symptoms, know about their nature, to exclude an extra reason for anxiety and panic.
Natural physiological processes cause different sensations, including not always pleasant ones. One of them is tingling in the lower abdomen during pregnancy. It can be manifested at any time of pregnancy or accompany its entire term. At every stage of pregnancy this symptom occurs for various reasons, and their ways of alleviating unpleasant sensations are different each time.
Consider in the order of three periods of pregnancy, that is, three trimesters, and the features of the sensation of tingling in the abdomen in each of them. Let's pay attention to the ways of alleviating the symptom. Individual approach is very important because of the difference in terms, the characteristics of the organism of each woman and in connection with the peculiarities of the course of pregnancy.
Tingling in the abdomen - 1st trimester
Tingling in the lower abdomen during pregnancy may first appear several days after conception, that is, at a time when the woman does not yet know of her interesting position. It takes pain, for example, for symptoms of menstruation, so it does not particularly worry. After a few weeks, there is a swelling of the chest, there is rapid fatigue, drowsiness, then nausea and nervousness, which indicate the onset of pregnancy. And tingling in the lower abdomen is already beginning to worry the woman, she does not find an answer to the question - why this happens. And the answer is the following: in the first trimester the cervix becomes soft, the shape of the uterus changes - it stretches, rounds because its blood vessels are filled. The womb becomes the center of all metamorphosis and the new sensations associated with them. This happens, as a rule, at 6-8 weeks. Painful sensations associated with these changes are observed in the lower abdomen both to the right and to the left. They come not so much from the uterus, but from the muscles that support it. If such light tingling lasts no more than an hour, then there is no cause for concern.
A more effective way to eliminate discomfort is considered to be special exercises on a large ball, which are allowed at any time of pregnancy, if they are approved by a doctor.
Unpleasant sensations in the 2nd trimester
At the 4th month of pregnancy( ie at the beginning of the second trimester), a more significant increase in the uterus leads to the fact that it begins to "conquer" space in the stomach and intestines,and as a result, interferes with their normal function - there may be digestive disorders, accompanied by constipation or heartburn. It is these symptoms that lead to tingling in the abdomen, which is considered quite acceptable. The order of the day and diet can help cope with unwanted feelings. It should be excluded from the diet of a pregnant woman potatoes, legumes, nuts, any cabbage in any form, grapes, white bread, that is all that leads to increased gas production. Bread, coarse-flavored vitamin-containing fruits and vegetables, lean meat and fish( compulsory), sour-milk products( for the formation of useful intestinal microflora), compotes from dried fruits( without sugar) - that's what should be the ration of a pregnant woman.
The pressure on the pelvic organs increases with the increase in the weight of the baby, which increases the likelihood of tingling in this area, and frequent urination to the toilet. Such physiological causes should be corrected by drinking regimen, especially if the woman observes puffiness in her body.
Fecundation of the fetus in the second trimester can also be taken as a slight tingling in the lower abdomen. But if you listen to your body at this moment, you can get a real pleasure from the activity of your child.
Sensations in the abdomen in the 3rd trimester
The 7th, 8th month of pregnancy is the period of direct preparation of the female body for labor, which can also be accompanied by tingling in the lower abdomen. The impressive weight of the child exerts more pressure on the internal organs. Starting from the 35th week, a short tingling in the lower abdomen may indicate training fights. She does not feel a strong discomfort at such moments, but this should not put her vigilance to sleep - her child, fully formed, is ready for birth. Drawing prolonged and painful pains in the abdomen should become a signal about the beginning of labor activity, and without supervision of experts the woman in labor can not remain.
And yet, there are some conditions that can rightly be called "unhelpful", or rather "dangerous" pricking, because it can be dangerous for a pregnant woman. Its obvious signs may be prolonged pain, accompanied by bloody discharge. They can testify to the miscarriage that has begun. And after the 35th week, unexpected discharge with an admixture of blood suggests a placental abruption. Immediate call of ambulance and bed rest are the things that must be done immediately after the detection of such symptoms.
A doctor is also required if the pains in the abdomen are accompanied by fever, urination disorder, or stool problems. It is worth remembering that any non-standard situation can only worsen if uncontrolled excitement or panic is allowed. Stress can not become an assistant, so it is not worth admitting it.
