Pelvic pain after pregnancy

Pelvic pain after pregnancy is generally a normal physiological phenomenon. It is mainly due to the gradual increase in fetal weight, which will compress the pelvic area. Especially in the late pregnancy, the symptoms may be more obvious. When this pain occurs, you must adopt some methods to relieve it in time, such as using a support belt, and pay attention to getting enough rest, etc.

Pelvic pain after pregnancy

1. Support belt

Experts recommend that all pregnant women can effectively avoid and relieve pelvic pain by using a support belt during pregnancy, especially those with more obvious pain symptoms, who should use a support belt as early as possible. Its main function is to stabilize the pubic symphysis, thereby reducing displacement during activity. However, be careful when using the support belt for the first time. It is best to do so under the guidance of a doctor to avoid putting pressure on the abdomen, which can cause various discomfort symptoms.

At the same time, when using the support belt, you should also pay attention to taking it off when you go to bed at night, so as to avoid the support belt twisting due to bad posture during sleep, thereby compressing the abdomen.

2. Small activities

At the same time, experts also remind pregnant women that when symptoms such as pelvic pain occur, they must not endure the pain at this time. Also note that if some movements make you feel pelvic pain, you should try to avoid doing these movements. If you don't pay attention and let the pain worsen, not only will you experience various uncomfortable symptoms, but it may also take a long time to recover. And in daily life, doing some small activities can also relieve pelvic pain.

But be careful when doing some small activities or movements. It is best to avoid exerting force on your waist. You may not have any symptoms of pain at the time, but the pain will gradually appear later or when you go to bed.

3. Get plenty of rest

Pregnant women should pay more attention to rest during pregnancy, especially during the 6th to 8th month of pregnancy. At this time, as the fetus gradually grows, the pregnant woman's activities become increasingly clumsy and restricted. Therefore, it is very necessary to sit down and rest frequently, which can relieve fatigue in the abdomen and waist. But when sitting down, you should pay attention to keep your back as straight as possible and give it good support to avoid exerting force on your waist.

Although you should rest more, you should not stay in bed for a long time, as this will inevitably make the pelvic pain more obvious. At the same time, be careful to avoid lifting or pushing heavy objects, as these will make the symptoms of lower back pain in pregnant women more obvious.

4. Climb the stairs

Pregnant women who live in high-rise buildings should try to avoid climbing stairs and use elevators instead. If you must climb stairs, you should also pay attention to the fact that it is best to take one step at a time, and it is best to step the stronger or more convenient leg onto the step before taking the other leg. Be sure to avoid keeping your legs apart for a long time, otherwise you will most likely fall.
