Why does stomach pain occur in late pregnancy?

Pregnancy is certainly a very happy thing, but it brings a lot of torture to women, especially in the summer when they are pregnant. They often sweat profusely and feel very uncomfortable. And if they have stomach pain in the late stage of pregnancy, it is very worrying. During pregnancy, pregnant women must be accompanied by someone. Why do pregnant women have stomach pain in the late stage of pregnancy? Let’s find out through the following content!

After 8 months of pregnancy, some expectant mothers often feel back pain. This is because as the pregnancy progresses, the uterus becomes larger, and because the uterus expands forward, it forces the expectant mother to straighten her body. In order to maintain body balance, expectant mothers lean their heads and shoulders back, their abdomen forward, their legs apart, and their upper body backward when standing and walking, which makes the muscles in the back and waist often in a tense state. At this time, the ligaments of the spine and bone joints relax during pregnancy, and the enlarged uterus compresses the waist and back nerves, which also causes low back pain.

So is there any good way to deal with low back pain? In order to prevent and relieve back pain, expectant mothers are reminded to pay attention to prenatal checkups. In the early stages of pregnancy, they should insist on doing appropriate exercises such as walking, strengthen physical exercise, and regularly perform appropriate thigh stretching exercises to enhance the flexibility of the waist and back.

Maintaining a certain posture for a long time or getting a cold waist or back can aggravate the pain. Expectant mothers can adopt a more comfortable position to relax their back muscles. For example, half-lying down and raising your legs a little higher can facilitate blood circulation and reduce edema in the lower limbs. At the same time, you should pay attention to keeping warm, sleep on a hard mattress, walk in light, low-heeled soft shoes, and you can also perform local massage.

Through the introduction above, I believe you already know why you have stomach pain in the late pregnancy! If the pregnant woman is in severe pain, it is best to go to the hospital for examination to see what is causing it. After all, it is already the end of the pregnancy, and every move of the pregnant woman is very important. For the health of the baby and the pregnant woman, parents must take good care of her.
