Pain during pregnancy are of different nature and origin are not always an indicator of the pathological process. Do not panic and frightened when a pain in early pregnancy, since most pain are caused by hormonal changes in the body.
Physiological pain in early pregnancy
Pain occurring during implantation (introduction of the egg in the uterine lining) of a fertilized egg, are not uncommon. This is due to the melting of some mucosal site of implantation to better attachment of the ovum. Sometimes the pain accompanied by spotting. Implantation weak pain, aching or tingling, are located in the abdomen, there are seven to ten days after ovulation

and conception and are on their own within a few days.
- Pain in the lower back and / or sacrum
First of all the origin of back pain due to the effect of pregnancy hormone - progesterone, which causes a softening of the uterus and ligamentous apparatus of the spine and spinal discs. In addition, during pregnancy shifts the center of gravity that also exacerbates pain. Contributing factors of pain in the lumbar and sacral region are: low back pain

, Curvature of the spine, the lumbar muscle weakness, exercise (Prolonged standing or sitting, work related to the slopes, carrying heavy loads).
- Pain in the right or the left iliac region
Pain in the lower abdomen side may arise during the period of the egg by the fallopian tube or the formation of a functional corpus luteum cyst

(from ovulated follicle). Such pains are usually not dangerous and disappear spontaneously, and the cyst resolves with the progression of pregnancy. Pain occurring during the transport of the egg down the fallopian tube, often associated with the presence of chronic adnexitis or sexual infantilism, when the passage of the pipe is very narrow, and the pipe itself is thin and convoluted.
In early pregnancy often have headaches and dizziness. This refers to one of the early signs of pregnancy. Headaches associated with a change (increase) the volume of the vascular bed, as well as the relaxing effect of progesterone.
Bloating, severe breast tenderness, especially nipples, are also the first signs of pregnancy. After conception, the body increases the synthesis of progesterone

and estrogen, which influences the sensitivity of the mammary glands. In addition, since the mammary glands of early start to prepare for the birth and breastfeeding, resulting in these structural changes (growth of glandular tissue).
Pathological pain in early pregnancy
Spontaneous abortion is one of the most common causes of pain and abortion. Miscarriage takes place in several stages: threatened abortion, which began abortion, abortion in progress, incomplete and complete abortion. With the threat of termination of pregnancy there is a constant pulling or aching pain in the lower abdomen and lower back, which if left untreated increase. Basal temperature drop (below 37 degrees), a pregnancy test may be negative (due to decreased production of human chorionic gonadotropin). If the abortion has begun appearing spotting from the genital tract, in the course of an abortion is accompanied by cramping pain, heavy bleeding, the disclosure of the cervical canal.
Under the influence of progesterone during pregnancy, there are some changes in urination (it becomes more frequent due to relaxation of the muscles of the urethra). Violation of hygiene and inflammation of the vagina leading to infection of the urethra and bladder. There are pain when urinating, and in the case of further climbing infection in the pathological process involved the kidneys, which is accompanied by pain in the lower back.
Appendicitis often occurs early in pregnancy. This is due to hormonal changes in the body and weakening the immune system. The pain of appendicitis are localized in the right iliac region, accompanied by fever and symptoms of intoxication (nausea, vomiting).
