Buttock pain in late pregnancy

We all know that when a pregnant woman reaches the late stage of pregnancy, her body will undergo some changes. When these changes occur in her body, it means that she is about to give birth. Sometimes, the pregnant woman's belly is too big, which will cause pressure on her body, making her lose her appetite and often feel pain in her buttocks. So what should I do if I have pain in my buttocks in the late stage of pregnancy?

Why does the buttocks hurt during late pregnancy?

This is probably because the baby entering the pelvis presses on the pelvic cavity and causes buttocks pain. You can check whether the frequency of your uterine contractions is very regular. When it reaches a regular frequency every minute, it means that you are about to give birth. Pay attention to regular pregnancy checkups.

1. Expectant mothers in the late stages of pregnancy should increase their daily protein intake by 25 grams and try to eat more animal protein and soy foods. You should also take in an appropriate amount of essential fatty acids and eat some animal liver to supplement iron.

2. The calcium intake in the late pregnancy should be 1500 mg. You should eat more calcium-rich foods, such as seaweed, dried shrimp, dried shrimp, milk, kelp, soy products, fish and bone soup. It is not advisable to consume too much fat and carbohydrates, and avoid excessive salt intake.

3. As pregnancy approaches the end, the fetus will move further down the pelvic cavity, so the pressure on the gastrointestinal tract will decrease and appetite will become strong again. It is important to eat small amounts each time and eat slowly to completely control your weight.

4. Although there is no need to diet, excessive intake may lead to obesity. Stay away from high-calorie snacks and replace them with protein-rich foods or calcium-rich foods.

For many pregnant women, their sleep quality will seriously deteriorate in the late stages of pregnancy, and they will feel uncomfortable no matter how they sleep. After long-term clinical research and practice on the sleeping position of pregnant women, some doctors confirmed that the best sleeping position for pregnant women during pregnancy, especially in the late pregnancy, is lying on the left side. Sleeping in the left side decubitus position in the late pregnancy can turn the right-rotated uterus to an upright position, which helps reduce the resulting fetal position and delivery abnormalities.
