Abdominal pain in the sixth month of pregnancy is mainly due to the enlargement of the uterus and the stretching of the round ligament of the uterus. If the pain is in the abdomen, it will mostly be located on one or both sides of the uterus in the lower abdomen, presenting as referred pain, dull pain or hidden pain, partial abdominal pain, bleeding, pelvic tenderness, drop in blood pressure and rapid heartbeat, pelvic mass, and the pain will become more obvious when walking a long distance or changing body position. If these pains last for a short time and then go away, it is normal and there is no need to worry.

You should go to the hospital immediately to rule out hidden dangers such as ectopic pregnancy and threatened abortion.

How to prevent gestational sac bleeding

1. Pregnant women should quit smoking and drinking.

It is currently known that tobacco contains more than 1,200 harmful substances, among which nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide, etc. are the most harmful to the human body. The harm of passive smoking is even greater. Husbands should not smoke indoors, and pregnant women should avoid staying in a smoky environment for a long time. Drinking alcohol has adverse effects on the fetus.

2. Pregnant women are not allowed to keep pets.

According to investigations by medical experts, some cats, dogs, poultry and other animals are infected with Toxoplasma gondii. Toxoplasma gondii can cause toxoplasmosis, which is a zoonotic disease; if a pregnant woman is infected, there is about a 30-40% chance that the disease will be passed on to the fetus. Toxoplasma infection is divided into latent and explicit. Sometimes, although there are no symptoms for pregnant women, Toxoplasma can infect the fetus through the placenta, causing miscarriage, stillbirth, premature birth or multiple malformations, such as fetal hydrocephalus, brain calcification, decreased vision and hearing, and may also cause neonatal pneumonia, hepatosplenomegaly, jaundice and impaired consciousness. Therefore, pregnant women should stay away from pets, and it is best for women not to come into contact with pets during pregnancy.
