What should I do if my legs become sore during late pregnancy?

Expectant mothers in the late stages of pregnancy will feel "restless" because of their big bellies, and will feel soreness in various parts of their bodies, especially their calves. I feel like every part of my body is damaged. But in fact, these are all normal phenomena, and many expectant mothers are like this. So, what should expectant mothers do if they feel sore legs in the late stages of pregnancy?

Some pregnant women feel pain in the buttocks and outer sides of the calves during pregnancy, which may sometimes involve the lower back. The pain usually develops gradually. This is sciatica. The main cause is that during pregnancy, the ligaments near the lumbar spine are more relaxed than normal due to the influence of ovarian relaxing hormone. In addition, the intervertebral disc is abnormally squeezed due to excessive lordosis of the spine. Under the influence of the above two factors. It causes the intervertebral disc to bulge, compressing the nerve roots and causing sciatica pain. Generally speaking, the symptoms will disappear naturally in the later stages of delivery as the tension of the spine and ligaments recovers. After this symptom appears, the patient should lie on a hard bed to rest.

Osteomyelitis (OMS) during pregnancy is more common among pregnant women. Once symptoms appear, many pregnant women become extremely panicked and anxious, which is not conducive to the development of the baby in the belly.

Therefore, as long as pregnant women do not have any organic diseases of bones, muscles and joints before pregnancy, they do not need to worry too much even if they experience the above symptoms, because these symptoms are largely caused by the physiological changes in the body caused by pregnancy. Once delivery, most cases heal on their own. However, for pregnant women with more severe symptoms, appropriate symptomatic treatment should be given to relieve the symptoms, provided that the treatment does not affect the health of the fetus and ensures the smooth progress of the pregnancy. After delivery, they can generally be cured by going to the orthopedic department for thorough treatment.

You will definitely recover after giving birth. In daily life, expectant mothers should pay attention to a balanced diet, get enough rest, and avoid overwork.
