I am eight months pregnant and I still feel some pain down there

After 8 months of pregnancy, you have actually entered the late stage of pregnancy. At this time, fetal development is basically completed, and pregnant mothers only need to maintain basic nutrition and proper exercise. However, some mothers find that they feel a little pain down there when they are more than eight months pregnant. What is the reason for this? There are many reasons that lead to this situation. It is recommended that pregnant mothers go to the hospital for a detailed examination.

The entire pregnancy process is divided into three periods: early pregnancy before the 12th week of pregnancy; mid-pregnancy from the 13th to the 27th week of pregnancy; and late pregnancy from the 28th week onwards.

symptom

1. For amenorrhea women of childbearing age with a history of sexual activity, pregnancy should be suspected if their menstruation is delayed by 10 days or more. Amenorrhea may be the earliest and most important symptom of pregnancy. But it should be noted that amenorrhea does not necessarily mean pregnancy.

2. About half of women experience symptoms such as chills, dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, drooling, loss of appetite, preference for sour foods or aversion to greasy foods, nausea, and vomiting in the morning about 6 weeks after menstruation. These symptoms are called early pregnancy reactions. Early pregnancy reactions usually disappear on their own around 12 weeks of pregnancy.

3. Frequent urination occurs in early pregnancy and is caused by the enlarged anteverted uterus pressing on the bladder in the pelvic cavity. About 12 weeks after pregnancy, when the uterus enters the abdominal cavity and no longer compresses the bladder, the symptoms of frequent urination disappear naturally.

Signs

1. Breast changes: Starting from the 8th week of pregnancy, the breasts gradually increase in size. Pregnant women feel mild breast tenderness and nipple pain. Examination shows that the nipple and the surrounding skin (areola) are darker in color, and Montessori nodes are visible around the areola.

2. Changes in the reproductive organs are examined by vaginal speculum examination at 6-8 weeks of pregnancy. The vaginal wall and cervix can be seen to be congested and purple-blue. As pregnancy progresses, the uterus enlarges and softens. When the uterine fundus extends beyond the pelvic cavity, it can be touched above the pubic symphysis.

Testing

1. Ultrasound examination B-type ultrasound imaging can not only show the number of fetuses, delivery method, fetal presenting part, fetal position, presence or absence of fetal heart beat and placental position. It can also measure multiple diameters such as the biparietal diameter of the fetal head. It can also be used to observe whether the fetus has any surface deformities. Ultrasonic Doppler can detect fetal heart sounds, fetal movement sounds, umbilical cord blood flow sounds and placental blood flow sounds.

2. Fetal electrocardiogram: Currently, the indirect method is commonly used in China to detect fetal electrocardiogram, and the success rate is higher after 20 weeks of pregnancy. The advantage of this method is that it is non-invasive. Can be used repeatedly.
