Pain in the lower part of pregnancy

Pregnancy is both a painful and a happy thing. The pain is physical, but the happiness is inner. But no matter what, pregnancy is the most difficult period for women. Women in the late pregnancy will inevitably have some symptoms. These symptoms often make expectant mothers feel uncomfortable, and prone to wild thoughts and even anxiety. One of the more common symptom is tingling down there in the late pregnancy. Let's see what's going on.

As the fetus grows larger, it presses on the sciatic nerve, causing pain down there. In the late pregnancy, if the fetal head descends to the pelvis, the pain will be more severe. Sometimes it will hurt when turning over, getting up, or walking. Therefore, in the late pregnancy, take good safety precautions, avoid sitting or lying for long periods of time, walk more, and prepare for future delivery. This way, the birth will be smoother.

1. This is mainly because in the late pregnancy, as the fetus continues to grow, the burden on the expectant mother's abdomen and body gradually increases. In addition, as delivery is approaching, the frequency of abdominal pain will increase significantly compared to the second trimester. As the baby grows, the expectant mother's uterus also gradually expands. The enlarged uterus constantly stimulates the lower edge of the ribs, which can cause dull rib pain in expectant mothers. Generally speaking, this is physiological and does not require special treatment. Lying on the left side can help relieve pain. If an expectant mother suddenly feels persistent severe pain in the lower abdomen, it may be premature birth or a sign of uterine rupture. Recommendation: Go to the hospital for treatment in time and do not delay.

2. The pain may be caused by the impact of the uterus due to the fetal movement in the baby's abdomen. If the pain is persistent, it may also be due to the enlargement of the uterus and the pulling of the round ligament of the uterus. This is a relatively normal situation. If it is accompanied by vaginal bleeding, it is very likely to be placental abruption, and timely treatment measures need to be taken.

In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, many expectant mothers will feel inexplicable pain in the pubic bone, a pulling sensation, especially when standing, walking, or going up and down stairs. The pain is more obvious, and sometimes it hurts when turning over or sitting up in sleep. This phenomenon occurs mainly because, during pregnancy, especially in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, the fetus grows larger and the uterus expands accordingly. The pubic space will undergo corresponding physiological changes and become wider than before pregnancy. After the pregnant woman gives birth, the widened gap between the pubic bones will gradually return to its original position. The pain caused by this pubic symphysis separation is generally tolerable. If the pubic bone is dislocated significantly, it may cause ligament sprain and edema in severe cases, making it difficult to move. The expectant mother will have to stay in bed and rest.
