Dull abdominal pain at 6 months of pregnancy

It is common for pregnant women to experience abdominal pain in the sixth month of pregnancy. As the fetus continues to grow, the pressure on the mother's abdomen and body gradually increases. In addition, as delivery is approaching, the frequency of abdominal pain will continue to increase compared to the early pregnancy. Should you take chances when you have abdominal pain in six months of pregnancy? Because abdominal pain in six months of pregnancy can be divided into physiological abdominal pain and physiological abdominal pain, expectant mothers should still be cautious.

What is the reason for the lower abdomen pain in six and a half months of pregnancy

1. Physiological abdominal pain

1. As the baby grows, the pregnant mother's uterus also gradually expands. The enlarged uterus constantly stimulates the outer edge of the ribs, which can cause rib pain in pregnant women. Generally speaking, this is physiological and does not require special treatment. Sleeping on the left side during pregnancy can help relieve pain.

2. In the second half of pregnancy, pregnant mothers may experience lower abdominal pain due to false labor during rest at night. The pain usually lasts only a few seconds and can last for several hours intermittently. The pain is not accompanied by a feeling of falling and the symptoms can be relieved during the day.

2. Physiological abdominal pain

1. Placental abruption: It often occurs in the late pregnancy. The pregnant mother may have pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome, chronic hypertension, or abdominal trauma. Tearing pain in the lower abdomen is a typical symptom, often accompanied by vaginal bleeding. The degree of abdominal pain is affected by comprehensive factors such as the size of the abruption area, the amount of blood, the level of internal uterine pressure, and whether the uterine muscle layer is damaged. In severe cases, there may be unbearable abdominal pain, hard abdomen, decreased fetal movement, and even shock. Therefore, in the later stages of pregnancy, pregnant women who suffer from high blood pressure or abdominal trauma should immediately go to the hospital for medical treatment to prevent accidents.

2. If a pregnant mother suddenly feels persistent severe pain in the lower abdomen, it may be a sign of premature birth or uterine rupture. In this case, close observation is recommended. If the abdominal pain is severe, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible and do an ultrasound to rule out the possibility of abnormalities.
