Why do finger joints hurt during late pregnancy?

During pregnancy, a woman's body will undergo many changes, one of the most common of which is joint pain. Because pregnancy is a special period, any unexpected situation will make pregnant women and their families very worried, fearing that the pregnant woman will have some abnormal conditions. So, why does finger joint pain occur in the late pregnancy? Let’s take a closer look below.

1. This is mainly caused by edema during pregnancy. Severe edema compresses the nerves and causes pain in the bones and joints. When I wake up in the morning, the pain is so severe that I feel like I can't open my fingers.

2. Calcium deficiency can cause muscle cramps and bone and joint pain, which is related to fetal development during pregnancy. During pregnancy, a large amount of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D are needed. If these nutrients are not taken in enough and there is a calcium deficiency, it is easy to cause bone and joint pain and muscle cramps, especially at night when sleeping, the calf will cramp if you move a little.

Remedies:

1. Proper supplementation of vitamins and calcium requires proper supplementation of vitamin D and calcium starting from the early stages of pregnancy. The demand for various nutrients increases after pregnancy, so attention should be paid to appropriately increasing the intake of vitamins and calcium.

2. Pay more attention to rest and do appropriate activities at ordinary times. If it is winter, it is best for expectant mothers to wash their hands with warm water and raise their arms frequently to increase the return of venous and lymphatic fluid, which can relieve pain. At the same time, don't be too nervous. The pain will disappear naturally as the pregnancy ends.

The above is an introduction to why finger joint pain occurs in the late pregnancy. I hope it will help everyone’s understanding. There are many factors that cause finger joint pain in the late pregnancy. Since it is the late pregnancy, it is necessary to find the cause in time and then take effective measures to solve it to avoid the disease causing more serious harm to women's health.
