What is the cause of the dull pain in the vagina at 38 weeks of pregnancy?

The gestation period is relatively long, generally more than 9 months, which is the basic condition for the fetus to develop completely. For the fetus, any birth before 9 months is a typical premature birth. Pregnant women may experience abnormal symptoms throughout the pregnancy, such as abdominal pain, discomfort in the private parts, etc. Among them, what is the cause of dull pain in the private parts at 38 weeks of pregnancy? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

Throughout the pregnancy process, most women will experience different types of discomfort symptoms, whether it is drowsiness and fatigue in the early pregnancy, or uterine distension and pain in the second trimester. Especially in the late pregnancy, the fetus becomes larger and larger, and with the arrival of signs of delivery, physical discomfort increases.

At present, this situation is approaching the due date. The pain may be caused by the fetus entering the pelvis and compressing the nearby nerves. Generally speaking, these symptoms will naturally ease after the baby is born. At present, pay attention to rest and don't be too nervous. If you have intermittent abdominal pain, a hard stomach, a feeling of defecation, or bloody discharge, it means that you are about to give birth and you should go to the hospital as soon as possible to be hospitalized for delivery.

1. Fetal compression. In the late pregnancy at 38 weeks, the fetus is mostly sliding towards the female pelvis in preparation for the upcoming delivery. However, the size of the fetus will bring varying degrees of pressure to the female pelvis. At the same time, different types of discomfort symptoms will appear, including private pain and pelvic pain.

2. Pubic separation. During the 38th week of pregnancy, the fetus has grown and matured, and is constantly preparing for the upcoming delivery. At this time, the woman's body is also preparing for the delivery of the fetus. Not only do the internal organs begin to make way for the large fetus, but the bones of the reproductive system may also move differently because of the fetus, especially the pubic bone above the vagina.

3. Uterine contractions. During the 38th week of pregnancy, signs of delivery may appear at any time. At this time, contractions will be very frequent and changes will occur in various parts of the body, especially uterine contractions. Frequent uterine contractions will also cause increased pain in parts of the body affected by the fetus.
