During a long pregnancy, it is inevitable for pregnant women to experience physical discomfort. As medication should not be abused during pregnancy, many times when pregnant women experience physical discomfort, they can only endure it and continue to live a normal life. For example, it is common for pregnant women to experience headaches in the late stages of pregnancy. So, let's learn about how to deal with headaches in 8-month-old pregnant women?
Headaches at 8 months of pregnancy may be due to poor rest. During this month, the pregnant woman's belly is already very large, making it uncomfortable to lie down and the quality of sleep will also decrease, resulting in headaches. Pregnant women can relieve headaches by physical methods such as massaging the temples and applying hot compress. Hot compress is mainly targeted at the back of the neck, while gently kneading the scalp can alleviate the symptoms.
If there are persistent headache symptoms, pregnant women should seek medical examination in a timely manner to check if it is caused by preeclampsia. Headache symptoms may also occur after elevated blood pressure. It is recommended that these pregnant women actively go to the hospital for prenatal check ups and eliminate the phenomenon of preeclampsia by measuring blood pressure.
To prevent headaches in late pregnancy, pregnant women should pay attention to windproof and warmth when going out, avoid exposing their heads to cold wind stimulation, wear suitable hats, or try to minimize going out. When indoors, it is also important to pay attention to timely ventilation and maintain fresh indoor air, which can reduce the risk of headaches and make pregnant women's lives more comfortable.
