Eight months pregnant, frequent urination

The eighth month of pregnancy is in the late stage of pregnancy. At this time, the woman’s physical health is very important. The later the pregnancy, the less likely there should be any problems with the woman’s body. However, some pregnant women experience severe frequent urination during the eighth month of pregnancy. In addition to affecting their normal life, they are also very worried that it will harm the development of the fetus. So, why does frequent urination occur during the eighth month of pregnancy? Let’s take a look below.

First of all, we must be clear that pregnant women will experience varying degrees of frequent urination in the early and late stages of pregnancy. Frequent urination in early pregnancy is mainly caused by changes in hormonal secretions in the body. Pregnant women with frequent urination lose more potassium in their bodies, so they should supplement with potassium-rich foods, such as mushrooms, cabbage, beans, peanuts, walnuts, bananas, etc., and appropriately control the intake of salt to help the kidneys retain water. They can also drink low-concentration sugar water.

Also, if you experience pain or burning when urinating, or if you are only able to urinate a few drops at a time despite a strong urge to urinate, you should see a doctor. This could be a sign of a urinary tract infection. Urinary tract infection is a very common bacterial infection in pregnant women. If left untreated, it may lead to kidney inflammation, premature birth, or both. So what should we do? During pregnancy, pregnant women should control their water intake reasonably and replenish water in moderation, but they must not stop drinking water. They should urinate in time and not hold urine. If pregnant women feel like urinating, they should urinate in time and not hold urine, so as to avoid bladder infection and aggravate frequent urination.

All pregnant mothers must pay attention to the occurrence of premature birth when approaching their due date. The organ systems of premature babies are not fully developed, which makes them prone to various diseases, so the mortality rate will be relatively high, and we need to take precautions. Therefore, it is necessary to have regular prenatal check-ups and maintain hygiene during pregnancy. Pregnancy is a happy thing for every mother. I wish every pregnant mother can give birth to a healthy, plump baby.
