What is pubic pain during pregnancy?

During pregnancy, we hope that there will be no abnormalities in the condition of the pregnant woman and the fetus. However, in the second trimester, as the fetus grows larger, many pregnant women experience pubic pain. Some pains are so severe that they are even unbearable. They are worried that the pain in the body will affect the development of the fetus. So, what is pubic pain during mid-pregnancy? Let’s take a look below.

What causes pubic pain during mid-pregnancy?

First of all, as the fetus develops and its limbs gradually grow, the pregnant woman's belly becomes larger and larger, and the weight that the pubic bone has to bear also becomes larger and larger. However, the weight that the human pubic bone can bear is limited. Exceeding this limit will bring burden to the pubic bone, and the pregnant woman will feel pubic pain in the second trimester.

Secondly, pubic pain in pregnant women is also affected by relaxin. According to the original width of the pubic bone in a woman's body, it is difficult to give birth to a baby in the belly. In order to ensure the smooth birth of the baby, the pregnant woman's body will secrete relaxin to separate the pubic symphysis, which is equivalent to stretching the pubic bone. Pregnant women will naturally feel pubic pain during pregnancy.
