Pregnant women have stomach pain due to excessive walking

Pregnant women are very fragile during pregnancy, and their bodies are prone to various conditions. Therefore, women who are preparing to become mothers during this stage of pregnancy must pay more attention to every detail in life and be careful in their daily food, clothing, housing and transportation. If you experience stomach pain from walking too much during pregnancy, what are the common causes? How can we avoid this situation in our daily lives? Those of you who are planning to become mothers should learn more about this.

reason:

In the late stages of pregnancy, the pubic symphysis becomes loose and slightly stretched. At the same time, the sacroiliac and sacrococcygeal joints become loose, causing discomfort during movement. In order to maintain the balance of the center of gravity, the pregnant woman's spine is lordotic, the back extensor muscles are overloaded, the abdomen is forward, the chest is backward, the neck is forward, and the shoulder blades are drooping. The pregnant woman will experience back and sacral pain and weakness and numbness in the upper limbs. In addition, the enlargement and rotation of the uterus and the pain or discomfort caused by the stretching of the ligaments can also cause pregnant women to feel lower abdominal pain. The discomfort caused by physiological changes is usually tolerable and has no effect on pregnant women and babies. However, if you cannot tolerate it, you should go to the hospital to rule out pain caused by other diseases.

Note:

1. Massage the uterus:

The purpose is to help the uterus recover and discharge lochia (a great way to quickly recover the uterus after childbirth), and it can also prevent postpartum hemorrhage caused by poor contraction. Method: First find out the location of the uterus. For women with normal delivery, they can easily feel a hard lump under the navel, which is the location of the uterus. When the uterus becomes soft, use your palms to apply a little force to the uterus and massage in circles to make the uterus harden, which means the contraction is good. When the uterine contractions are very painful, stop the massage temporarily and lie prone to relieve the pain. If the pain is still there and it affects your rest and sleep, notify the nursing staff.

2. Observation of lochia:

Lochia refers to the secretion discharged from the uterus. It is red and abundant in color 1 to 3 days after delivery, then becomes lighter in color and less in quantity. It turns light yellow after 10 days and usually disappears completely in 4 to 6 weeks. If the lochia contains abnormal phenomena such as large blood clots, foul odor or blood flowing out, you should notify the medical staff immediately (How to observe and deal with lochia after delivery).

3. Urine:

Due to the pain in the perineal wound and damage and compression of the bladder and urethra during delivery, you may feel that you cannot urinate completely after delivery. The mother should start urinating within 2 hours after delivery. If urination is not smooth, please notify the nursing staff for assistance.

4. Defecation:

After delivery, the disappearance of abdominal pressure, lack of fiber in the diet, and the mother's bed rest can all lead to weakened intestinal motility and prolonged emptying time. The pain of the perineum incision makes the mother unwilling to defecate, and there is a lot of sweating during the postpartum period. All of the above reasons can easily lead to constipation. Therefore, during the postpartum period, mothers should mainly eat easily digestible semi-liquid food, pay special attention to eating more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in fiber, get out of bed and move around appropriately, and develop a good habit of defecating on time every day. If necessary, you can take honey, bananas, etc. orally to promote intestinal peristalsis. Anal enema can also be used to relieve constipation.
