The 5 Most Common Kinds of Stomachaches During Pregnancy, and How to Stop Them

Believe it or not, stomach pain can hit you as soon as six to 12 days after you conceive. "Expect this in early first trimester. In general, there is spotting and bleeding, but rarely actual pain," Dr. Hoskins explained. What's causing this? It's actually the fertilized embryo physically burrowing into the uterine wall.

It's no joke, but thankfully there's an easy fix. "To help relieve discomfort, increase fluids and apply heat to the lower abdomen. Avoid taking pain medication unless absolutely necessary," Hoskins recommended. "If bleeding accompanies this discomfort, call your doctor to get a proper assessment and treatment plan."
