Six months pregnant belly pain

Many women are very concerned about taking care of their bodies after becoming pregnant, especially safety during pregnancy, which is also an issue that many women are very concerned about. Some women may experience some discomfort during pregnancy for various reasons. For example, some women may experience lower abdominal pain in the second trimester of pregnancy, and the reasons for this situation are quite complicated. So what is the reason for the lower abdomen pain when you are six months pregnant?

1. The reason for lower abdominal distension and pain in the sixth month of pregnancy is mostly due to the development of the fetus and the enlargement of the uterus after pregnancy, which causes compression on the surrounding tissues and organs. The symptoms will be aggravated after standing or sitting for a long time or being tired. This symptom may also occur when pregnant women suffer from gynecological diseases such as urinary system diseases, digestive system diseases, ovarian cysts, etc. If the pain symptoms progressively worsen, or are accompanied by abnormal vaginal discharge, the possibility of late miscarriage is highly suspected and you need to go to the hospital as soon as possible to find out the cause and receive treatment. It is recommended that pregnant women should rest as much as possible, avoid standing or walking for long periods of time, avoid emotional fluctuations, and avoid sexual stimulation.

2. As the baby grows, the expectant mother's uterus also gradually expands. The enlarged uterus constantly stimulates the lower edge of the ribs, which can cause dull rib pain in expectant mothers. Generally speaking, this is physiological and does not require special treatment. Lying on the left side can help relieve pain. In the second trimester, expectant mothers may sometimes experience lower abdominal pain due to false labor when resting at night. The pain usually lasts only a few seconds, with intervals of several hours. It is not accompanied by a feeling of falling, and the symptoms will be relieved during the day.

3. Abdominal pain may also be caused by placental abruption, which often occurs in the late pregnancy. The expectant 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 a combination of factors such as the size of the abruption area, the amount of blood, the internal pressure of the uterus, and whether the uterine muscle layer is damaged. In severe cases, the abdominal pain is unbearable, the abdomen becomes hard, the fetal movement disappears, and even shock may occur. Therefore, in the late stages of pregnancy, expectant mothers with high blood pressure or abdominal trauma should go to the hospital in time to prevent accidents.
