Dull abdominal pain in late pregnancy

The late stage of pregnancy is the stage close to giving birth. The fetus at this stage has basically fully grown. Because the fetus has basically grown and developed completely, and the uterus is also enlarged, pregnant women in the late pregnancy may experience some discomfort in the body, and may have stomach pain. So what is the reason for the dull pain in the lower abdomen during late pregnancy?

1. Physiological pain, such as abdominal pain caused by inflammation. Abdominal pain during pregnancy is generally not typical, and it is sometimes mild and sometimes severe, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and is also accompanied by a certain amount of vaginal bleeding. At this time, inflammatory abdominal pain may occur, accompanied by low fever. Examination will show bleeding, abnormal hemoglobin increase and other symptoms. This kind of physiological abdominal pain may be due to inflammation of the reproductive organs of pregnant mothers before they became pregnant. This inflammation may be mild before pregnancy, but with the changes in hormones in the body after pregnancy, obvious symptoms will appear.

2. The vague pain in the lower abdomen in the late pregnancy may be the uterine contraction pain during labor. In the late stages of pregnancy, the baby is about to be born, and at this time our body will make a series of changes to prepare for the birth of the baby. The pain of uterine contractions generally goes through a process from weak to strong, and from sparse to concentrated. This type of pain may last for twelve hours in some people but for several days in others. Therefore, when the intervals between pains gradually decrease and the frequency gradually increases, you need to prepare to go to the hospital for delivery.

3. Abdominal pain that occurs after trauma. This type of symptom is very obvious. Generally, the abdominal pain is caused by a significant external force collision or impact on the waist and abdomen. After this kind of situation occurs, pregnant mothers need to go to the hospital immediately and explain what happened to the doctor.

The above is a detailed introduction to what causes dull pain in the lower abdomen during late pregnancy. In short, during the pregnancy process, pregnant mothers generally suffer a series of physical discomfort. There are many common causes of abdominal pain, which can occur at any stage of pregnancy. Some abdominal pain is a normal physiological phenomenon, but some is caused by pathological reasons, so we still need to distinguish them.
