What is the cause of the pain in the right buttocks of a pregnant woman?

First, physiological stomach pain

As the baby grows, the expectant mother's uterus also gradually expands. 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.

Second, pathological stomach pain

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.

It has been scientifically proven that having a bowel movement once a day is more scientific and healthier. Pregnant mothers should first develop a good habit of regular bowel movements every day and increase their daily activity appropriately, such as taking a walk or practicing yoga. This is also good for the baby's development. Also, pregnant mothers should stay in bed more and rest carefully.
