Causes of buttock pain in late pregnancy and precautions in late pregnancy

Pregnant women will experience many different symptoms in the postpartum period, and buttock pain is one of them. It is generally believed that buttock pain is caused by sciatica or calcium deficiency. The treatment method is generally to supplement calcium or pay attention to rest and not sit or stand for a long time. This is not good for the body's recovery. In the late pregnancy, you should pay more attention to prenatal examinations, medications, exercise, going out, walking, etc.

1. Pregnant women have buttock pain mainly due to the following two reasons:

1. Sciatica: The main reason is that during pregnancy, the ovarian relaxing hormone affects the ligaments near the lumbar spine, making them looser than normal. In addition, due to excessive lordosis of the spine, the intervertebral disc is abnormally squeezed. The above two factors cause the intervertebral disc to bulge, compressing the nerve roots and causing sciatica pain.

2. Calcium deficiency: This is sacral and coccygeal pain caused by calcium deficiency. Many pregnant women said that their buttock pain was relieved after taking calcium supplements.

2. There are three best ways to recuperate: one is to supplement calcium; two is to pay attention to rest, and do not stand, walk or sit for a long time; three is to be careful not to stick out your belly too much when standing or walking.

Of course, if some pregnant women feel pain in the buttocks and outer calves, sometimes involving the lower back, the pain usually develops gradually, which is typical sciatica. Generally speaking, the symptoms will disappear naturally in the later stages of delivery as the tension of the spine and ligaments recovers. If this symptom occurs during pregnancy, it is advisable to rest on a hard bed.

3. Precautions in late pregnancy

☉Antenatal check-up

In the third trimester, antenatal check-ups are done every two weeks. In addition to monitoring the growth of the fetus, the normal function of the placenta is also checked. Your doctor will decide how you will deliver your baby through prenatal examinations.

☉Medication

In the late stages of pregnancy, the most troubling problem may be swelling in the lower limbs. In fact, in most cases no special treatment is needed, just pay attention to rest. If your blood pressure is high, you must take medication under the guidance of a doctor. Do not take antihypertensive drugs at will to avoid unnecessary danger.

☉Walking

If you have a big belly, you should keep your balance when walking, pay attention to safety, and avoid walking on uneven roads. Don't wear high heels. Be sure to wear low-heeled and stable slippers to avoid falling due to unstable center of gravity.

☉Sports

Walk more and do some prenatal gymnastics appropriately, which is very beneficial for natural childbirth.

☉ Go out

Avoid going in crowded places. If you must go out, be sure to be accompanied by someone and choose a safe means of transportation, especially avoid riding in a bumpy or long-distance car. It is not advisable to travel far in the late pregnancy and do not plan long-distance trips.

The late pregnancy is a high-risk period. Pregnant women must promptly detect the condition of their bodies and take appropriate measures. Pain in the buttocks is generally sciatica. Pay attention to exercising more and it won't be a big problem. Pregnant women should have more people accompany them in the later stages to avoid any emergencies where no one is there to take care of them.
