What causes stabbing pain in the left lower abdomen during late pregnancy?

1. Wrong sleeping posture

Because pregnant mothers have much less sleep time after pregnancy, if the sleeping posture is incorrect, it can easily cause pain in the lower left abdomen of the pregnant mother.

2. Colitis and other diseases cause pain in the lower left abdomen

In fact, pregnant women may experience different symptoms in the area where they feel pain, and colitis is a very common one. So if you usually feel pain in the lower left abdomen, it is very likely that you have colitis. Generally speaking, the cramping pain in the lower left abdomen will be relieved after defecation, and the abdomen will also feel bloated. The location of the pain may also change depending on the severity of the pain.

3. Unstable fetal development

This situation can easily lead to premature birth of the fetus or ectopic pregnancy in pregnant women. Therefore, if the pain in the lower left abdomen is caused by this situation, you must seek professional medical treatment in time. You should also pay more attention to rest and avoid overwork.
