Sciatica pain during 7 months of pregnancy

Sciatica is a very common disease, especially for many pregnant women. The incidence rate is still relatively high. If you find yourself suffering from sciatica when you are seven months pregnant, try not to sit for too long. You must pay attention to moving your body, so that your condition can be improved. Sometimes pregnant women will also feel headaches.

1. Pregnant women suddenly have headaches

If a pregnant woman suddenly develops a headache in the late pregnancy, it is often a precursor to eclampsia. This should not be ignored, especially for pregnant women with high blood pressure or severe edema, as it may be pregnancy-induced hypertension. If not diagnosed and treated in time, it may induce convulsions, coma, and even endanger the lives of mother and child. Therefore, medical treatment should be sought promptly and appropriate diagnosis and treatment should be given.

2. Severe abdominal pain in pregnant women

In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, if severe abdominal pain suddenly occurs due to trauma, weight bearing or sexual intercourse, it is usually placental abruption and you should go to the hospital for examination. In addition, if you experience regular cramping in late pregnancy, it is often a sign of delivery and you should be prepared for it.

3. A small amount of watery fluid flows out of the vagina

Clinically, some expectant mothers experience a small amount of watery fluid flowing out of their vagina, some of which may be water breaking, and some may be the discharge of leucorrhea-like substance. Expectant mothers who experience the above symptoms should go to a doctor in person to confirm whether their water has broken, in order to prevent secondary infection once their water has broken and a small amount of watery substances often flow out.

Some expectant mothers thought it was leucorrhea, so they did not take it seriously and thought it was urinary incontinence in the late pregnancy. They continued to wait for delivery at home. When delivery was really about to come, the fetus had already suffered a very serious intrauterine infection and secondary infection. This makes the fetus prone to secondary sepsis, even meningitis and other very serious consequences. Therefore, expectant mothers in the late pregnancy must pay attention to vaginal discharge, even a small amount of watery liquid outflow should not be ignored.

Once this symptom is discovered, the editor recommends that expectant mothers must stay in bed and rest, and it is best not to walk around. If necessary, expectant mothers are advised to take medication and suspend sexual intercourse in the late stages of pregnancy. Expectant mothers should try not to eat raw or cold foods and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

4. Acute fatty liver of pregnancy

After the seventh month of pregnancy, very rare acute fatty liver of pregnancy can occur. Although the incidence of this disease is extremely low in obstetrics, once it occurs, the mortality rate of expectant mothers is 80%. This disease often occurs in expectant mothers who have twins, have high blood pressure during pregnancy, or are carrying a boy.

Some expectant mothers may experience general fatigue, nausea and vomiting, or upper abdominal discomfort as early symptoms. Many expectant mothers think that these discomforts occur because the uterus enlarges as the fetus develops, and they do not go to the hospital in time. After a week, the expectant mothers may develop yellowing of the sclera or the skin all over the body, which we call jaundice.
