It is common to experience some discomfort during pregnancy, including mild cramping or stretching sensations in the lower abdomen. However, if you are experiencing heavy pain that is persistent or accompanied by other symptoms such as bleeding, fever, or difficulty urinating, it is important to consult a doctor for evaluation. These symptoms could indicate a potential issue that requires medical attention. Additionally, if you have concerns about your gastric problems and how they may be affecting your pregnancy, it is advisable to discuss them with your healthcare provider. They can provide guidance and recommend appropriate measures to alleviate your discomfort and ensure the well-being of both you and your baby. Remember, it's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to your health during pregnancy.

Pain in the lower abdomen is very common in this month. Even I am having such pains nowadays since I am also in 4th month. I came to know that the reason for the pain is, our body gets prepared for the normal child birth where sometimes we feel pain in the lower abdomen because of the hormones. these hormones dilates the vessels and make the pathway loose. 

So there is no need to worry about the lower abdomen pain since its common unless if you get more severe pain frequently you have to visit your doctor.
