Lower abdomen of pregnant woman swelling and pain reason
A few expectant mothers feel traction pain and a sinking feeling in their lower abdomen in the early stages. The reason may be Uterus Tilt backwards, or caused by congestion and dilation of posterior pelvic blood vessels.
In the second and third trimester of pregnancy, as the uterus gradually enlarges, the ligaments around the uterus change from the original relaxed state to a tense state. Some expectant mothers feel a dull distending pain and sinking feeling in the lower abdomen due to traction. The uterus of most expectant mothers rotates and tilts to the right, causing greater tension on the left ligaments, so the traction pain in the lower abdomen on the left side is more obvious than on the right side.
