What is the cause of the pain in the lower part of the 38th week of pregnancy?

Pregnant mothers will always pay attention to their bodies. When something happens to their bodies, they are often more worried about whether this will affect the health of the baby in their belly. Some pregnant mothers said that they had pain in their private parts at 38 weeks of pregnancy, and they didn’t know why. Most of these situations are caused by the fetal head entering the pelvis and the contraction of the uterus, and the possibility of local inflammation should also be considered.

What is the cause of the pain in the lower part of the 38th week of pregnancy?

First, the fetal head enters the pelvis and compresses the pelvic veins

When the pregnancy reaches 38 weeks, the baby in the belly has already grown big. At this time, the baby will enter the pelvis, and then be compressed to the pelvic vein, which will block the blood circulation in the private veins and cause pain in the private parts. This condition is very common and generally does not require treatment. Just pay attention to getting more rest and sleeping on your left side at night to improve the edema. If you are particularly worried about affecting the health of your baby, insist on regular physical examinations every week and pay attention to the fetal heartbeat and the state of the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman.

Second, uterine contraction causes

At 38 weeks of pregnancy, when the fetus has fully grown and is ready to enter the pelvis, pregnant women will experience uterine contractions. These contractions will last for a relatively long time. Some of them are "false contractions". Paying more attention to the frequency of these contractions, avoiding long periods of sitting and wearing tight clothes, and adjusting your diet appropriately can effectively promote the improvement of these symptoms.

Third, partial inflammation

When there is local inflammation and irritation in the private parts, pregnant women may also feel genital pain during pregnancy. This kind of symptom is mostly caused by not paying attention to private hygiene during pregnancy. You can often wash the vulva with warm water, and then apply some aloe vera gel to improve the pain in this area.

Fourth, pubic separation

During the 38th week of pregnancy, the fetus has already fully developed and is beginning to prepare for the next delivery. At this time, the woman's body is also preparing for the delivery of the fetus. Not only do the internal organs begin to make room for the larger fetus, but the bones of the urinary system may also move differently due to the fetus, especially the toe bones above the vagina.
