The pubic bone suddenly stopped hurting, it was the pelvis

When pregnant women enter the late stage of pregnancy, due to the expansion of the fetus and the secretion of a hormone by the body, they will experience pain in the toes. However, some pregnant women may suddenly find that their toes are no longer painful in the late stage of pregnancy, and they will wonder if they have entered the foetus and will be full of doubts about this matter.

What causes pubic pain during pregnancy?

In the late stages of pregnancy, many pregnant women will feel unexplained pain in the toes, with a stretching feeling, especially when standing up, walking, and going up and down stairs. The pain is more obvious, and sometimes they will feel pain when turning over in sleep or sitting up. The main reason for this phenomenon is that during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, the size of the fetus gradually increases, the uterus also expands, and the gap between the toes becomes wider than before pregnancy due to corresponding physiological changes.

Generally, before pregnancy, the normal distance between the two toes is 4-5mm. During pregnancy, the two hormones, relaxin and luteinizing hormone, can help relax the ligaments. The distance between the two toes will increase by at least 2-3mm, increasing the elasticity of the pelvis to give the fetus more room for growth, and helping the fetus to pass through the pelvis during delivery. Therefore, ischial tuberosity separation occurs in almost all pregnant women. However, some pregnant women may be too sensitive to the hormone, which makes the ischial tuberosity area very loose, with the distance between them exceeding 10mm; or because of the size and arrangement of the pelvis, this joint bears more pressure, resulting in excessive separation of the ischial tuberosity, so they feel this kind of pain on the inner thigh.

The pain caused by this type of sciatic tuberosity separation is generally bearable. If the toe bone is severely fractured, it may cause muscle strain, edema, and inability to move. At this time, the pregnant mother must stay in bed and rest. Pregnant mothers do not need to worry, because after giving birth, the widened gap between the toes will gradually return to its original size.
