Experts say that in the late pregnancy, as the fetus continues to grow, the burden on the expectant mother's abdomen and body gradually increases. In addition, as delivery is approaching, the number of abdominal pains will increase significantly compared to the second trimester. Some abdominal pains during pregnancy are normal physiological reactions, while others are disease warnings from the body and should be treated with caution and not taken lightly. Physiological abdominal pain As the baby grows, the expectant mother's uterus also gradually grows. 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. In the late stages of pregnancy, expectant mothers may sometimes experience lower abdominal pain due to false labor when resting at night. The pain usually lasts only a few seconds, with intervals of up to several hours. It is not accompanied by a feeling of falling, and the symptoms will be relieved during the day. Pathological abdominal pain and 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. Premature birth or threatened uterine rupture: If a pregnant mother feels persistent and severe pain in the lower abdomen, it may be premature birth or threatened uterine rupture. You must seek medical attention promptly during this time and do not delay to avoid accidents to the fetus. If an expectant mother suddenly feels persistent severe pain in the lower abdomen, it may be premature birth or a sign of uterine rupture. You should go to the hospital for treatment in time and do not delay. Is abdominal pain in late pregnancy a sign that the baby is about to be born? Signs of labor: 1.
