Understanding Pregnancy Pain
Not all pain is bad. Here is a guide by trimester.
Early Weeks (1-12)
Mild cramping is very common as the uterus begins to stretch and the embryo implants. It often feels like period cramps.
Growing Pains (13-27)
Round Ligament Pain is sharp pain in the lower belly or groin when you move quickly. Backaches may start as your belly grows.
Final Stretch (28-40+)
Braxton Hicks (practice contractions), pelvic pressure, and rib pain are common. Regular painful contractions may signal labor.

How It Works
The Mamma Track Pregnancy Pain Checker uses a smart algorithm based on standard obstetric guidelines. It cross-references your gestational age with specific symptoms to differentiate between common physiological changes (like uterus stretching) and potential red flags.
While this tool provides instant awareness for conditions like Round Ligament Pain, Braxton Hicks, or Indigestion, it prioritizes safety by flagging symptoms that require medical assessment, such as high blood pressure signs or potential infections.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is lower abdominal pain normal in pregnancy? expand_more
Yes, mild lower abdominal pain is frequently caused by round ligament stretching, gas, constipation, or the uterus expanding. This is very common in the second trimester. However, if the pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by bleeding, you should consult your doctor immediately.
What is the difference between Braxton Hicks and real labor pain? expand_more
Braxton Hicks are irregular, often painless tightening sensations that go away with rest or water. True labor contractions get stronger, longer, and closer together over time, are often painful (like strong menstrual cramps), and do not stop when you change positions.
Which pain is dangerous during pregnancy? expand_more
Pain accompanied by vaginal bleeding, fever, chills, dizziness, vomiting, or pain that is severe and persistent (like a sharp stabbing) requires immediate medical attention. Also, pain during urination or severe upper right abdominal pain (a potential sign of preeclampsia) should be checked.
When should I go to the doctor for pregnancy pain? expand_more
If the pain doesn't go away after resting for 30-60 minutes, drinking water, or changing positions, you should call your doctor. Always seek help immediately if you notice reduced fetal movement, leak fluid, or have spotting.
Why do I have pain in my pelvic area? expand_more
Pelvic pressure or pain is often due to the baby's head moving down (engaging) or the relaxation of pelvic joints due to the hormone relaxin (sometimes called SPD or PGP). Using a pregnancy support belt and keeping your legs together when turning in bed can help.
