Back pain comes faster than stomach pain

After entering the late stage of pregnancy, women will slowly begin to have uterine contractions. The initial contractions are very mild, and usually only mild lower abdominal pain is felt. When the pregnant woman is about to give birth, the contractions become regular and the pain will be severe. Is back pain also a type of uterine contraction?

Most people think that uterine contractions always cause uterine pain, which means that the pain should be located in the abdomen. But in fact, some pregnant women who are particularly sensitive to pain will experience back pain in addition to lower abdominal pain during uterine contractions. Therefore, back pain is a common symptom of uterine contractions. Especially after the amniotic fluid breaks, many pregnant women feel severe lower back pain during uterine contractions.

If severe uterine contractions occur before 36 weeks, it may be a symptom of premature birth. Pregnant women should pay attention to making full preparations for premature birth. If they feel that the uterine contractions are becoming more regular, they should go to the hospital for delivery in time. If uterine contractions occur after 36 weeks, preparations for a normal delivery should be made. When the contractions are short and steady, occurring once a minute, it means the pregnant woman is about to give birth.

Of course, some pregnant women have already exceeded their due date, but have not had obvious uterine contractions, which is common. It is generally impossible to give birth normally without uterine contractions, so you should consider that the baby cannot choose natural birth, and you should make preparations for cesarean section in time.

However, many expectant mothers are trying hard to find ways to relieve uterine contraction pain.

The method is to press the anus while breathing, and loosen the anus while breathing. Repeating the operation can reduce the uterine contraction pain of mothers.
