Is it normal to have abdominal bloating and pain in early pregnancy?

Abdominal bloating and pain during early pregnancy are normal, caused by hormonal changes that support fetal development. As the uterus gradually expands, abdominal pressure increases, which can also lead to bloating and discomfort. However, if the abdominal pain lasts for a prolonged period, is severe, or accompanied by symptoms such as vaginal bleeding, fever, or vomiting, medical attention should be sought promptly for obstetric and gynecological evaluation and treatment.
