Right rib pain in late pregnancy

Some people are very lucky when they are pregnant. Not only do their figures not change, but they also do not experience too much pain during pregnancy. However, the vast majority of pregnant women will have some pregnancy reactions during pregnancy. During the entire pregnancy, the biggest pregnancy reactions should be in the early and late stages. In the late stage of pregnancy, the fetus is relatively fully mature. As the fetus grows gradually in the uterus, it will press on the surrounding parts. Therefore, pain in the right ribs and limbs will occur in the late stage of pregnancy.

1. It is usually caused by the following two situations.

1. The fetus is growing rapidly, and the ever-expanding uterus will stimulate the ribs, causing pregnant women to feel unbearable pain in the ribs.

2. After the baby is formed, the amount of exercise will increase. Especially in the late pregnancy, the baby is in the fetal position with feet facing up, which can easily kick the ribs and cause pain.

So how can we relieve this pain?

1. Adopt a suitable sleeping position to relieve the pain.

In the late stages of pregnancy, due to the enlarged abdomen, many common sleeping positions that are considered comfortable are not suitable for pregnant women at this time. If you want to relieve rib pain caused by an enlarged abdomen, try sleeping on your side. At the same time, you should place a pillow of moderate height under the abdomen and between the thighs to relieve the pressure of the sagging abdomen. This will reduce the stimulation of the ribs from the upward abdomen and effectively relieve the pain.

2. Also pay attention to the sleeping environment.

Sometimes, if the sleeping environment is too noisy or the pregnant woman does not get enough sleep, it will cause the baby in the belly to protest and increase their activity. This will make the baby excited, and the mother's pain will increase.

Therefore, pregnant women should try to maintain good sleep quality when sleeping and develop regular sleep time. In addition, a comfortable sleeping environment is also very important. This can not only effectively calm the nerves, but also help pregnant women reduce insomnia. It can also effectively soothe the fetus so that they will not become irritable due to the noisy environment.
