Many pregnant women experience abdominal pain when walking. This situation often occurs in the late pregnancy. Therefore, when this happens, many pregnant women are particularly worried. So they want to fully understand the reasons why pregnant women experience abdominal pain when walking.

In the late stages of pregnancy, the pubic symphysis becomes loose and slightly stretched. At the same time, the sacroiliac and sacrococcygeal joints become loose, causing discomfort during movement. In order to maintain the balance of the center of gravity, the pregnant woman's spine is lordotic, the back extensor muscles are overloaded, the abdomen is forward, the chest is backward, the neck is forward, and the shoulder blades are drooping. The pregnant woman will experience back and sacral pain and weakness and numbness in the upper limbs. In addition, the enlargement and rotation of the uterus and the pain or discomfort caused by the stretching of the ligaments can also cause pregnant women to feel lower abdominal pain. The discomfort caused by physiological changes is usually tolerable and has no effect on pregnant women and babies. However, if you cannot tolerate it, you should go to the hospital to rule out pain caused by other diseases.

If your crampy abdominal pain is accompanied by spotting, bleeding, fever, chills, vaginal discharge, tenderness, and pain, or if the pain is not relieved after a few minutes of rest, it is recommended that you see a doctor in time. This principle applies not only to the third trimester. In fact, you should consult your doctor any time you have any of these symptoms throughout your pregnancy.
