Lower body pain in late pregnancy

Pregnancy is a very important period for female friends, and various pregnancy reactions will occur during pregnancy, which will bring a lot of discomfort to the physical health of female friends. Women in the late pregnancy usually experience lower body pain, which is generally caused by the growing uterus pressing on the bladder. It is normal, but if female friends feel unwell, they still need to seek medical treatment in time.

1. Etiology and treatment

This condition occurs when the uterus presses on the bladder in the late stages of pregnancy. It is recommended to pay more attention to rest and observe. If you experience abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, it means you are about to give birth. Seek medical attention if necessary. Pain in the vulva is probably caused by fetal compression or vulvar edema. It is recommended to apply local heat with a hot towel and avoid standing for long periods of time. If you have paroxysmal abdominal pain, you may be about to give birth. It is recommended to apply local hot compress, avoid standing for long periods of time, avoid compression of the fetus, which will make perineal edema more severe, and eat a low-salt diet. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.

The enlarged abdomen after pregnancy compresses the inferior vena cava, and the venous return of the lower limbs and vulva is blocked, which can easily lead to varicose veins of the vulva and hemorrhoids, thus causing pain. Vulvar pain is not a precursor to labor. Spotting, water breaking, paroxysmal abdominal pain, and abdominal comfort are all signs of labor. If regular uterine contractions occur or water breaks, hospitalization is required to prepare for delivery. It is recommended to go to the hospital in time to prepare for delivery and bring a delivery bag. Go directly to the hospital to give birth. The baby is full-term. If the fetus moves downward, it will compress the nerves below and cause pain, which is normal! If you see spotting or your stomach becomes hard for a few minutes at a time, go to the hospital as soon as possible to prepare for delivery.

2. Precautions in late pregnancy

In the last three months of pregnancy, the fetus grows fast and needs adequate nutrition, so the dietary principles for pregnant women at this time are: 1. Do not be picky eaters and do not restrict your diet; 2. Do not eat too much sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, or salty food, eat small meals frequently, and choose easily digestible food; 3. Eat more fruits and vegetables, and fish, meat, and eggs are essential. Pregnant women in tropical areas like to drink soup, but they should not rely entirely on those two bowls of soup for nutrient absorption. The weight of a pregnant woman should not exceed 1 kg in a week. It is worth noting that some pregnant women are afraid that they will eat too much and the fetus will be too fat to be born. In fact, the size of the baby is proportional to the pregnant woman's own conditions. It is normal for a 1.7-meter-tall pregnant woman to give birth to a 7-jin baby, but it is difficult for a 1.5-meter-tall pregnant woman. The normal range for a newborn baby is between 2.5 kg and 4 kg.
