What to do if you have stomach pain during pregnancy

The symptoms of each month of pregnancy may be different. The symptoms of the ninth month of pregnancy may be of more concern. In many cases, pregnant women will face the birth of a baby in the ninth month. In this case, you should go to the hospital for a check-up. This situation requires special attention, especially when you are nine months pregnant, take good care of your body.

You are starting to have uterine contractions... Be careful... Here is the delivery certificate for you. Within one month of the expected date of delivery, changes in hormone levels in the pregnant woman's body increase the excitability of uterine muscle cells. Some pregnant women will experience irregular uterine contractions, sometimes occurring every few minutes, and sometimes occurring every half an hour or more. Each contraction lasts less than 30 minutes, and does not gradually increase in strength. Instead, it gradually weakens and disappears, and the cervix does not dilate. This situation is called "false labor." Pregnant women only feel a slight distension in the lower abdomen. It often appears at night and disappears during the day, causing pregnant women to have poor sleep. Once it is confirmed that it is false labor, you can go home and have a good rest to gather your energy. Although false labor cannot dilate the cervix, it can soften the cervix and prepare for cervical dilation. The main sign of labor is regular uterine contractions, that is, two uterine contractions are about 5-6 minutes apart, lasting at least 20-30 seconds and with a certain intensity. During uterine contractions, the mother will feel abdominal pain and a hard stomach. As labor progresses, the duration of uterine contractions gradually increases, while the intervals between contractions gradually decrease. As the uterus contracts, the cervix gradually expands and the fetal head continues to descend. Normal primiparas are expected to have full cervical dilation and give birth within 14 to 18 hours. Friendly reminder: Many pregnant women are nervous for a considerable period of time before and after their due date, worrying that they will not be able to schedule their hospitalization for delivery. In fact, there are specific signs that indicate the onset of labor. If you experience any of the following situations, you can go to the hospital to wait for delivery. Regular abdominal pain: When regular uterine contractions occur, you feel regular abdominal pain. Rupture of membranes: Usually the amniotic membrane ruptures when the uterus contracts violently and the fetus is about to be delivered, at which time the amniotic fluid involuntarily flows out of the vagina. If rupture of membranes occurs within 24 hours without delivery, the risk of infection will greatly increase. Therefore, once the amniotic membrane ruptures, you should go to the hospital immediately.

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.

You may experience: rupture of your membranes, or your water breaking; an increase in your vaginal discharge that becomes thin, bloody, or mucous; pressure in your pelvis or lower abdomen; persistent, dull pain in your lower back; mild, crampy abdominal pain and/or diarrhea; and regular, often painless, contractions or tightening of your uterus.
