What causes abdominal pain in eight months of pregnancy?

From the combination of a sperm and an egg to the fertilized egg that enters the uterus, it slowly begins to grow and develop, becoming a small embryo, and then gradually finds the embryo, until pregnancy. This process is very difficult and complicated. There are many mysteries of the human body. Then, gradually when it comes to the 8th month of pregnancy, many pregnant women will gradually develop some symptoms in their bodies, such as lower abdominal pain in the 8th month of pregnancy. What is the reason?

In the third trimester, as the fetus continues to grow, the burden on the expectant mother's abdomen and body gradually increases. In addition, as delivery approaches, the frequency of abdominal pain will increase significantly compared to the second trimester.

Physiological abdominal pain

1. As the baby grows, the expectant mother's uterus also gradually expands. The enlarged uterus constantly stimulates the lower edge of the ribs, which can cause dull rib pain in expectant mothers. Generally speaking, this is physiological and does not require special treatment. Lying on the left side can help relieve pain.

2. In the late pregnancy, expectant mothers sometimes experience lower abdominal pain due to false labor when resting at night. The pain usually lasts only a few seconds, with intervals of several hours. It is not accompanied by a feeling of falling, and the symptoms will be relieved during the day.

Pathological abdominal pain

3. Placental abruption: It often occurs in the late pregnancy. The expectant mother may have pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome, chronic hypertension, or abdominal trauma.

Tearing pain in the lower abdomen is a typical symptom, often accompanied by vaginal bleeding. The degree of abdominal pain is affected by a combination of factors such as the size of the abruption area, the amount of blood, the internal pressure of the uterus, and whether the uterine muscle layer is damaged. In severe cases, the abdominal pain is unbearable, the abdomen becomes hard, the fetal movement disappears, and even shock may occur. Therefore, in the late stages of pregnancy, expectant mothers with high blood pressure or abdominal trauma should go to the hospital in time to prevent accidents.

4. If the expectant mother suddenly feels persistent severe pain in the lower abdomen, it may be premature birth or signs of uterine rupture. You should go to the hospital for treatment in time and do not delay.

In the above article, we learned about lower abdominal pain in the 8th month of pregnancy. In fact, after 8 months, we must take early prevention and treatment to avoid the possibility of premature birth, and frequent uterine contractions will continue to occur to a certain extent. Therefore, mothers should pay more attention.
