What does it mean tingling in the abdomen during pregnancy?

What changes do not occur with the female body during pregnancy, and since the woman is endowed with intuition much more than a man, then no change is left without attention.

During pregnancy the woman sensitively listens to the organism: the temperature has a little risen, taste predilections have changed, the skin has changed, or the tingling in the bottom of a stomach has appeared at pregnancy about which speak and write so much ... How to be? So much happens and how to be able to isolate what is natural, and what is an alarming symptom? Let's try to understand.

So, in all the variety of changes in the body, perhaps the most common is the tingling in the lower abdomen during pregnancy. Usually it makes itself felt, starting with the sixth week of pregnancy, although it may take place a little earlier or a little later. Sometimes it is comparable to a slight tickling, tingling and, as a rule, does not cause serious discomfort. Why is this happening? The fact is that tingling in the lower abdomen during pregnancy means that the woman's uterus changes its dimensions and contours. If in normal condition it has a pear-like shape, during pregnancy the shape changes and becomes more like an egg than a pear. Of course, this can not go unnoticed, so a woman feels a tingling sensation, feeling how the muscles begin to stretch.

And what, tingling in the lower abdomen during pregnancy is a normal process and you should not pay attention to it? In general, yes, but remember that with normal development and fetal growth, with natural changes in nature, this sensation can not be acute, strong, protracted, and even more so, tingling in the uterus during pregnancy should not be accompanied by bloody discharge. If some of this occurs, then this relationship has no relation to the growth of the uterus, or it may be the cause of something else, right up to the prerequisites for miscarriage. Therefore, in any case, you need to remember these feelings, assess their intensity and soreness and consult with your doctor.

But, suppose, as often happens, if a little tingles in the lower abdomen during pregnancy - the process is normal. However, some women do not enjoy it, to put it mildly, what to do in this case?

Stock up with a special rubber sword for aerobics, sit on it and rock, performing reciprocating movements. Or just like 20-30 minutes in a park near the house, but at least on the perimeter of the room - leisurely and evenly! After 3-5 minutes, discomfort in the abdomen will begin to recede, see for yourself.

Some women prefer, on the contrary, to take a horizontal position for a few minutes - this is also an effective way. You can wipe the lower abdomen with a towel moistened with cool water - in this case the effect will not be too long to wait. Just do not rub too hard, but do it gently, with gentle stroking movements. Some store ice cubes in such cases in the refrigerator and rub their abdominal skin upon the onset of a feeling of discomfort from the tingling in the uterus.

And one moment. If tingling occurs during the last trimester of pregnancy, be especially careful. Perhaps, so the body signals to you that the delivery will begin soon. Pay attention to the frequency and intensity, at the slightest suspicion, consult a doctor.
Look at the selection, is there a bloody admixture in them?

And most importantly - stay calm and do not panic. Remember that the vast majority of pregnancies are resolved safely. Tune in that your cherished and long-awaited pregnancy will also end well - you will become a happy mother to a charming baby. Everything will be as you dream.
