At 32 weeks of pregnancy, it is already late pregnancy, and special attention should be paid during late pregnancy to actively avoid premature birth. Many pregnant women experience abdominal pain in the late stages of pregnancy, causing them to feel very nervous and wondering if their abdominal pain is about to give birth. So what is the reason for abdominal pain at 32 weeks of pregnancy?
In late 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 mid pregnancy.
1. Physiological abdominal pain
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.
In the late stage of 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. There is no feeling of heaviness, and the symptoms can be relieved during the day.
2. Pathological abdominal pain
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, abdominal pain can be unbearable, the abdomen may become hard, fetal movement may disappear, and even shock may occur. So in late pregnancy, expectant mothers with hypertension or abdominal trauma should seek medical attention promptly to prevent accidents.
If the expectant mother suddenly feels severe pain in the lower abdomen, it may be premature birth or threatened uterine rupture. You should seek medical attention promptly and not delay the process.
