If a woman experiences abdominal pain at 6 months of pregnancy, she will definitely have some concerns. Women should pay attention to any symptoms during pregnancy. So what is the reason for abdominal pain at 6 months pregnant?
Abdominal pain is a common occurrence in pregnant women at six months of pregnancy. As the fetus continues to grow, the burden on the expectant mother's abdomen and body gradually increases. In addition, as labor approaches, the frequency of abdominal pain will significantly increase compared to early pregnancy. Abdominal pain at six months of pregnancy should not be taken lightly, as it can be classified into physiological abdominal pain and pathological abdominal pain. Pregnant women should still be cautious.
1、 Physiological abdominal pain
1. As the baby grows up, the expectant mother's uterus also gradually enlarges. The enlarged uterus constantly stimulates the lower edge of the ribs, which can cause dull rib pain in expectant mothers. Generally speaking, this is physiological and does not require special treatment. The left lateral position is beneficial for pain relief.
2. In mid pregnancy, expectant mothers may experience lower abdominal pain due to false contractions during nighttime rest, usually lasting only a few seconds with intervals of several hours, without any feeling of heaviness. The symptoms can be relieved during the day.
2、 Pathological abdominal pain
1. Placental abruption: It often occurs in the late stages of pregnancy, and expectant mothers may have gestational hypertension syndrome, chronic hypertension, and abdominal trauma. Lower abdominal tearing like pain is a typical symptom, often accompanied by vaginal bleeding. The degree of abdominal pain is influenced by a combination of factors such as the size of the area of premature ejaculation, the amount of blood, the pressure inside the uterus, and whether the uterine muscle layer is damaged. In severe cases, the abdominal pain can be unbearable, the abdomen becomes hard, fetal movement disappears, and even shock occurs. So in late pregnancy, expectant mothers with hypertension or abdominal trauma should seek medical attention promptly to prevent accidents.
2. If the expectant mother suddenly feels severe pain in the lower abdomen, it may be premature birth or threatened uterine rupture. It is recommended to closely observe this situation. If the abdominal pain is severe, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible and have an ultrasound examination to rule out the possibility of abnormalities.
At 6 months of pregnancy, if you experience abdominal pain, it is important to understand the cause of the pain. If it's just a regular stomach pain, it's not a big deal, but if it's caused by other diseases, it needs to be treated in a timely manner.
