Pubic pain at 35 weeks of pregnancy

We all know that women's bodies are more fragile during pregnancy and are more prone to some diseases. In recent days, many pregnant women have reported severe pubic pain in the late pregnancy, and the pain will last for several hours. Many people are puzzled by this. So today we will introduce to you what a woman should do if she has severe pubic pain at 35 weeks of pregnancy. Let’s take a look together.

Pubic pain usually occurs in the late stages of pregnancy. As the fetus grows larger, the pubic bone can no longer bear such a heavy burden and becomes somewhat separated, causing soreness in the groin, especially when changing positions. During pregnancy, the hormones relaxin and progesterone help relax the ligaments, making the pelvis more flexible, giving the fetus more room to grow and facilitating delivery. Therefore, symphysis pubis separation occurs in almost all pregnant women. However, some pregnant women may be too sensitive to the above-mentioned hormones, which makes the pubic symphysis area very loose, or because of problems with the alignment of the pelvis, this joint is under more pressure, resulting in excessive separation of the pubic symphysis.

Here are some possible causes of pubic pain:

1. Multiple births.

2. Have ever given birth to a baby that was overweight.

3. Problems with joints exist before pregnancy.

4. You had pubic pain or back pain before pregnancy.

5. Pelvic fracture caused by trauma.

6. The use of forceps has also been proposed.
