Pain when bending fingers during late pregnancy

After pregnancy, as the fetus grows and develops in the belly, the pregnant woman's body will also undergo great changes. Everyone's health status is different, and the changes that occur are also different. Some pregnant women may experience pain in their finger joints. For some first-time mothers, this makes them very anxious. They don’t know what to do if their fingers are painful during pregnancy.

What to do if your fingers are bent and painful during late pregnancy

During pregnancy, pain in the finger joints may be due to physical fitness, rheumatic factors or gout symptoms. Pay attention to a healthy diet, avoid irritating factors, and have regular follow-up visits. This symptom is generally common in joint inflammation or rheumatism, and the symptoms of discomfort are more obvious. It is best to go to the hospital for relevant examinations, determine the cause of the disease, and treat it symptomatically.

Pregnant women in the late pregnancy often experience pain in the wrists, fingers and other joints. This is because the body secretes a large amount of relaxant hormone to increase the body's flexibility in order to adapt to the needs of childbirth, which causes the edema of the joints and the tendons become more sensitive and painful, causing pain. It is recommended that you rest more and try to avoid irritation to the finger joints.

What should you pay attention to during late pregnancy

Diet for late pregnancy: Towards the end of pregnancy, the fetus will move down the pelvis, so after a short period of gastrointestinal discomfort, the appetite will become strong again. Mothers in the late stages of pregnancy should increase their protein intake and eat more animal protein and soy products as much as possible. You should also take in appropriate amounts of essential fatty acids and eat some protein foods to supplement calcium.

Fetal toxins: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that fetal toxins are mainly dampness and heat, which are accumulated by mothers during pregnancy and may cause eczema in babies after birth. Pregnant mothers should have a reasonable diet throughout the pregnancy. Not only should they eat some nourishing foods to ensure nutrient intake, but they should also eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to ensure the intake of various nutrients and maintain smooth bowel movements. Pregnant women are not recommended to consume food containing therapeutic drugs or Chinese herbal medicines.

After pregnancy, if there is any abnormality in the body, you should first go to the hospital for examination to ensure that there is no life-threatening situation so that you can rest assured and ensure the safety of the fetus. Finger joint pain in late pregnancy is a problem that many women will encounter. If this happens, don't worry. Just do rehabilitation training under the guidance of a doctor.
