As the number of days of pregnancy increases, the pregnant woman's body will experience many discomfort symptoms one after another. For example, in the late stage of pregnancy, pregnant women may experience frequent urination due to the continuous enlargement of the uterus and pressure on the bladder. Some pregnant women may also experience leg pain. What are the reasons for leg pain in the later stages of pregnancy?
The symptoms of leg pain in late pregnancy are mainly caused by the continuous enlargement of the uterus. Due to the continuous enlargement of the uterus, pregnant women's body weight will involuntarily move forward during daily walking, gradually forming physiological lumbar disc herniation. When the lumbar spine keyboard protrudes and compresses the nerves, it is easy to cause leg pain. Pregnant women should pay attention to rest, avoid standing for long periods of time, and moderately relieve lumbar pressure.
Some pregnant women may experience leg pain due to a lack of minerals. As the fetus requires more and more nutrients in the later stages of pregnancy, insufficient intake of nutrients in the diet may lead to a lack of minerals. When the body's calcium needs are not met, leg pain may occur.
In addition, excessive fatigue is also an important cause of leg pain in pregnant women. Because pregnant women in the late stage of pregnancy have a large belly and are extremely difficult to move around, even if they walk a short distance, they will feel tired and even have leg pain. To avoid leg pain symptoms, pregnant women must rest well and strictly control their diet and nutrition.
