Many pregnant women experience some physical discomfort during pregnancy, which is much worse than before pregnancy. Especially in the late stages of pregnancy, many pregnant women may experience pelvic pain, which is very serious and almost comparable to the pain of giving birth. It can also cause psychological pressure on pregnant women, fearing that the pain will worsen during childbirth. So, what should pregnant women do if they experience pelvic pain? What causes pelvic pain in pregnant women?
What should pregnant women do if they experience pelvic pain
1. Pregnant women with obvious pain symptoms should use braces as early as possible to relieve pelvic pain. The function is to fix the pubic symphysis, thereby reducing displacement during activity.
2. When experiencing symptoms such as pelvic pain, do not endure the pain. If this pain worsens, not only will there be various discomfort symptoms, but it may also take a long time to recover.
3. Pregnant women should pay more attention to rest during pregnancy, especially during the 6-8 months of pregnancy. As the fetus gradually grows larger, the pregnant woman's activities will be limited and clumsy.
4. Try to avoid climbing stairs and use elevators instead.
What causes pelvic pain in pregnant women
At around 10 weeks of pregnancy, the ligaments in women become loose and soft.
If the ligaments are excessively relaxed, it can cause pain in the pubic and sacroiliac joints, and in severe cases, it can radiate to the perineum or thigh roots, even causing difficulty in movement for pregnant women. In fact, this is not related to calcium deficiency during pregnancy.
When pregnant women experience pelvic pain and cannot tolerate it, they should not endure it. They should explain their situation clearly to the doctor and see if the doctor can provide some help. After all, this situation is not uncommon, and there will definitely be some solutions to alleviate the pain. Otherwise, if pregnant women continue to suffer for a long time, it will also be harmful to their body. During the pain, their diet and sleep will also be poor, which will affect the fetus even more.
