Late pregnancy is the most critical time when the fetus is gradually developing and taking shape. Pregnant women should be prepared to welcome the arrival of their baby. At this time, some pregnant women may become more sensitive to the feeling of their belly, and sometimes they may feel abdominal pain and discomfort. However, abdominal pain does not necessarily mean that the baby is about to give birth. There are various factors that can cause abdominal pain. So, what are the reasons for frequent abdominal pain in late pregnancy?
Late pregnancy often causes abdominal pain, which may be due to physiological reasons. As the fetus gradually develops and grows, the uterus will also become much larger, compressing the ribs and causing pain. At this time, the burden on the pregnant woman's body is relatively heavy, so it is necessary to pay more attention to rest. In late pregnancy, there may be pseudo contractions, which can also cause mild lower abdominal pain and swelling, and the frequency and duration of contractions are irregular.
Some pathological reasons can also cause abdominal pain in pregnant women, such as placental abruption, which is accompanied by symptoms of vaginal bleeding, and the amount of bleeding is large. If the area of the peeled placenta is large, there will be persistent pain and a feeling of lower back pain.
Threatened uterine rupture can also cause abdominal pain in pregnant women. Therefore, when pregnant women suddenly feel severe pain in the lower abdomen, they should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible and not delay the time. If you want to avoid placental abruption, it is necessary for pregnant women to undergo prenatal examinations, especially those with hypertension or some chronic inflammatory diseases.
