Buttocks pain during late pregnancy

Many pregnant women will experience such a situation, that is, they will have soreness on both sides of the buttocks in the late pregnancy. There are many reasons for this situation. It may be because as the fetus grows, the uterus also becomes larger and larger, compressing the lumbar spine, or there may be a problem with the sciatic nerve. In either case, people need to pay special attention to it. The following is a detailed introduction to why the buttocks are sore in the late pregnancy.

This requires considering the possibility that the enlarged uterus after pregnancy compresses the lumbar spine and then compresses the sciatic nerve. It is best to see a doctor for examination. If it is caused by the above reasons, special treatment is generally not required. You need to pay attention to rest, avoid fatigue, and pay attention to diet and strengthen nutrition to help return to normal.

Precautions during late pregnancy:

1. Strengthen fetal monitoring and do prenatal check-ups on time.

The late pregnancy is when the fetus is most likely to have problems. If conditions permit, you can do regular fetal heart monitoring once a week after 36 weeks of pregnancy, and insist on regular physical examinations. Pay attention to the results of each inspection so as to detect abnormalities in time and find solutions in time. Never ignore or skip an inspection.

2. Be prepared for delivery.

When choosing a suitable hospital, the first thing to consider is whether it has convenient transportation and good medical and health conditions. Contact the hospital in advance to arrange hospitalization so that you can be admitted to the hospital at any time when delivery starts. At the same time, you should also prepare your delivery bag in advance.

3. Be mentally prepared for childbirth.

Some pregnant women develop a fear of childbirth due to early exposure to information about the labor and delivery process, which is not conducive to the development of the fetus in the womb. Pregnant women in the late stages of pregnancy should learn about the symptoms of labor and the delivery process so that they have a clear idea of ​​what to expect. They should also reserve some knowledge about raising newborn babies in advance.

4. Be alert to premature rupture of membranes.

Some expectant mothers will experience premature rupture of amniotic fluid when they are more than 30 weeks pregnant, which is medically called premature rupture of membranes. This could easily lead to emergencies. Once the amniotic fluid breaks, the umbilical cord is likely to fall out. Once the umbilical cord prolapses, the baby will suffer from lack of blood and oxygen, and will soon suffer from intrauterine asphyxiation or even death. This situation is very common, so if the expectant mother finds that the amniotic fluid has broken prematurely, it is best to contact the hospital as soon as possible.
