Stomach cramps and urge to poop in late pregnancy

Many women will experience a variety of uncomfortable symptoms in the late stages of pregnancy as the fetus grows larger. Maybe some pregnant women have no relevant experience and will be at a loss to go to the hospital for physical examination. In fact, most of the conditions are normal. Frequent visits to the hospital will cause great mental pressure on pregnant women, which is not conducive to the growth of the fetus. Therefore, women during pregnancy should have a certain understanding of the relevant knowledge about pregnancy. So, what is the reason for abdominal pain caused by fetal movement in late pregnancy?

What is the cause of abdominal pain during late pregnancy?

Fetal movement may cause abdominal pain. Pregnant women's fetal movement has a certain periodicity, usually about 3-5 times per hour. Fetal movements are more active during the 28th to 37th week of pregnancy, but they are not likely to cause significant discomfort to pregnant women. The discomfort in the abdomen after the baby's fetal movement will be relieved in a few seconds or tens of seconds. If a pregnant woman experiences a downward movement of the entire abdomen, anal prolapse, paroxysmal abdominal pain, and vaginal bleeding in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, the occurrence of premature birth, placental abruption, and other conditions should be fully considered.

If the abdominal pain is located in the lower right corner or upper part, has no periodicity, and the pregnant woman has symptoms such as high fever, nausea, vomiting, etc., then the occurrence of acute appendicitis should be considered. If a pregnant woman experiences abdominal stiffness like lump in the abdomen and unbearable pain after giving birth, she should be alert to the possibility of uterine rupture.

How to relieve abdominal pain caused by fetal movement in late pregnancy

1. Change your activity or posture. Sometimes walking can relieve discomfort, and sometimes resting can relieve false labor. (If it is a real uterine contraction during childbirth, no matter what you do, the uterine contraction will not stop, and will gradually increase).

2. Take a shower to relieve some stress on the body.

3. Drink a few bowls of water, as false labor can sometimes be caused by dehydration.

4. Try stress relief exercises or take slow, deep breaths. Although this will not stop the false labor, it may help relieve the uncomfortable feeling.

Women should properly deal with various situations that occur during pregnancy and learn some relevant knowledge so that they can deal with situations that occur during pregnancy in a timely manner. When a pregnant woman is about to give birth, she should pay attention to doing more activities, but the amount of exercise should not be too intense. Activities such as walking or yoga are more appropriate. If you experience abdominal pain during exercise, you need to slow down first. Taking a rest will usually relieve the pain. If it does not get better, see a doctor immediately.
