Question
I have been pregnant for three months. Last night, when I was sleeping, I felt a subtle pain in my abdomen, but it went away when I woke up this morning. Is this serious? What should I be careful about in my daily life?
Answer
Medical Analysis: Hello, there’s no need to worry too much about an occasional abdominal pain. There are many reasons for abdominal pain, and for pregnant women, it is generally due to uterine contractions and urinary tract infections. Without a clear diagnosis of the exact cause, we assume that both are possible. For the next few days, you should rest well, avoid strenuous exercise, and abstain from sexual activity, as these are methods to treat uterine contractions. Moreover, drinking plenty of water and urinating frequently are effective treatments for urinary tract infections.
