Being 8 months pregnant is already in the late stage of pregnancy, and at this time, special attention should be paid to the health of the fetus. Pregnant women's movements have become very inconvenient, and daily walking can easily make them feel tired. Therefore, it is necessary to achieve a balance between work and rest and avoid excessive fatigue. What is the cause of abdominal pain in some women during the eighth month of pregnancy?
The persistent pain in the lower abdomen during the eighth month of pregnancy may be caused by fetal movement. If the fetal movement is too frequent and has already caused other discomforts, it is normal to feel this pain. If the fetal movement is too frequent, it should be alert to the possibility of hypoxia in the fetus. Pregnant women can go for examination to ensure their own and fetal safety.
False contractions can also cause lower abdominal pain. Pregnant women who stand or sit for a long time are prone to false contractions. If the frequency of contractions becomes regular, it is a sign of labor. Before labor, the uterus will sag, which will involve abdominal tissue and cause pain for pregnant women.
Although the chance of miscarriage is not high at 8 months of pregnancy, if abdominal pain is particularly severe and uterine contractions are strong, one should be alert to the occurrence of miscarriage, which is accompanied by symptoms of vaginal bleeding. If pregnant women suffer from uterine fibroids or ovarian cysts, in severe cases, it can cause uterine torsion, leading to abdominal pain. Pregnant women should lie down and rest in a timely manner, and if necessary, consider cesarean section.
