In fact, pregnant women often experience limb pain. There is no need to panic. If the pain is really severe, you can rest more, or even apply a hot towel, the symptoms may be alleviated. So let's take a look at the causes of limb pain in pregnant women.

In the later stages of pregnancy, as the uterus grows rapidly, the center of gravity of the whole body of the pregnant woman will move forward, causing the waist and back muscles to maintain a certain support force, so that the upper body maintains a backward posture, which can easily cause shoulder to waist and back pain, and even involve the nerves around the shoulders, causing soreness and weakness in the arms.

During pregnancy, some nerve or ischemic symptoms may be caused by compression. This is a normal phenomenon. It is compression sciatica caused by pregnancy. It will get better after delivery. During this period, it may be caused by sleeping on your side, which may cause radiating pain in the inner thigh and even the back of the calf. It is recommended that when pain occurs, try to do local heat compress, you can use hot cotton towels, gauze and warm hand bags, heat for 30 minutes to relieve the pain; you can also soak in a bathtub filled with warm water every day, the pain can also be gradually relieved.

On the other hand, it may be due to the influence of growth hormone during pregnancy, which relaxes the joint ligaments, enlarges the uterus, and compresses the pelvic tissue and nerves. In addition, due to the expansion of the abdomen, the center of gravity of the human body moves backwards, and the pregnant woman's waist protrudes forward in order to adapt to the balance of the human posture, so she will feel sore all over. It is recommended to get enough rest, do prenatal fitness exercises, and wear low-heeled shoes.
