What Causes Stomach Pain During Early Pregnancy?

Posted on Fri, 16 Jan 2015

Question: i have done pregnancy test its positive but my stomach is paining

Answered by Dr. Dalia Muraleedharan (7 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Need details

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

I would like to know whether the pain is in the upper abdomen or lower part.. Is the like that of periods or is it towards one side?

If pain in the upper abdomen can be due to gas.. You need not worry then.. Take some antacids which is cause relief in pain..If the pain is in the lower abdomen at the site of uterus and ovaries, get a scan done to see for gestational sac and to rule out ectopic.. If the gestational age is less than 5 weeks, it will be difficult to locate the sac, then you might have to get a follow up scan and a hcg blood test..

Start taking folic acid. Eat healthy, nutritious, less spicy food..

Hope I have answered your query.. Feel free to ask any doubts.. good day..

Weight gain of 1kg at the end of 3rd month is satisfactory.. In the next 3 months till 6 months weight gain should be 5 kg and last 3 months another 5 kg.. total of 11kg..
