Calf pain in six months of pregnancy

Every pregnant woman, even if her belly is already very big, should walk appropriately. This is beneficial for delivery and also helps to improve blood circulation in her body. However, many pregnant women begin to experience calf pain when they are six months pregnant, which makes it very difficult for them to move when they want to walk. So what is the reason for calf pain in pregnant women who are six months pregnant?

1. Expectant mothers should wear shoes that fit comfortably to relieve symptoms of back pain.

2. Do not wear high heels during pregnancy, even wide-soled high heels with a wider support surface.

3. Do not lift heavy objects or hold children during pregnancy to avoid excessive load on the waist. At the same time, the tendons, joints and ligaments during pregnancy are inherently fragile. In addition, the belly is too big in the late pregnancy. If you accidentally apply force incorrectly, the body may not be able to withstand the sudden torque and cause sequelae.

4. Appropriate prenatal exercises, such as swimming, walking, gymnastics, etc., can relieve lower back pain.

5. Using a belly support belt in the later stages of pregnancy can support the abdomen, relieve abdominal pressure, and reduce lower back pain caused by muscle tightening.

6. If the lower back pain is caused by the sacroiliac joint, you must use a pelvic belt instead of an abdominal support belt. Also, try to avoid walking for long periods of time.

7. During pregnancy, you can take a hot bath or apply local heat, plus massage, to relax your muscles, improve circulation, and also effectively relieve lower back pain.

Posture for coping with leg pain during pregnancy

After pregnancy, many pregnant women will experience a certain degree of discomfort, such as leg pain. Leg pain is a common symptom of pregnancy. If leg pain occurs, expectant mothers do not need to worry too much and should treat it as a normal pregnancy reaction. We recommend taking some appropriate tips to help relieve leg pain during pregnancy.

1. When back pain occurs during pregnancy, expectant mothers should pay special attention to their daily postures to avoid worsening of the condition. At this time, if pregnant women have the habit of exercising (light exercise), they should still maintain it.

2. Maintain a good posture during pregnancy, including standing, sitting and sleeping.

(1) Standing posture: During the middle and late stages of pregnancy, you should avoid standing for long periods of time. If you feel any discomfort, you should sit down or lie down.

(2) Sitting posture: When pregnant women sit, they can put a soft cushion on the back of the chair to relieve back pressure; and their feet can also be placed on a low stool to help blood circulation in the legs.

(3) Sleeping position: When lying down during pregnancy, you can raise your legs to help blood circulation and better eliminate pain. You can sleep on your side to reduce the burden on your waist and relieve discomfort. Placing a soft towel under your knees when sleeping can relieve pressure on your abdominal muscles.
