19 weeks pregnant stomach pain

19 weeks is about 4 months, and the fetus has already taken a basic shape. Pregnant women may experience abdominal pain throughout the pregnancy period. This is normal because the female uterus will contract from time to time, and each contraction will make the pregnant woman feel abdominal pain. However, the pain caused by uterine contractions can be felt and is different from other pains. What causes stomach pain during the 19th week of pregnancy?

If you have abdominal pain at 19 weeks of pregnancy, you still need to be alert to appendicitis if it is on the right side. Also, be alert to whether it is a cyst of the corpus luteum of the ovary or inflammatory stimulation. This requires an ultrasound examination of the location to be confirmed.

1. Vitamin supplement: You are now in the middle of pregnancy, and your body's demand for folic acid and various vitamins increases. You should pay attention to vitamin supplementation at this time. During this period, choose to eat rice, noodles and mixed grains to ensure adequate nutrition; get more sun exposure to ensure the absorption of vitamin D. In normal times, you should also eat more foods rich in vitamin D, such as animal liver and saltwater fish.

2. Nipple care: From now on, you should strengthen breast care to ensure smooth breastfeeding after delivery. Pay attention to cleaning the nipples every day, gently rub the nipples with soapy water and a soft towel for 1-2 minutes, and apply anti-cracking oil on the nipples so that they can withstand the baby's sucking. If you find that your nipples are inverted, you will need a nipple corrector. Use it before 6 months of pregnancy. After 3 weeks, you can feel that your nipples are obviously corrected and pulled out, which is fully prepared for breastfeeding!

3. Insist on counting fetal movements: At this time, you should learn to monitor the condition of the fetus by yourself. Insisting on counting fetal movements is a basic step. It is best to check at 8-9 pm every day. The fetal movement is generally 3-5 times per hour. If it is too fast or too slow, be careful and report it to the doctor in time. In fact, counting fetal movements every day is also a direct form of prenatal education. When you concentrate on the baby in the womb, he will respond, which enhances the emotional communication between mother and child.

4. The appearance of butterfly spots: During this period, you may find dark patches on your upper lips, above your cheeks, and around your forehead. These are butterfly spots. This is caused by high hormone levels in the body after pregnancy. It will return to normal after the baby is born, so don't worry too much. However, be careful to avoid exposure to sunlight to prevent pigment changes. Do a good job of sun protection and protect your skin to reduce the severity of the butterfly spots.
