What causes bone pain in late pregnancy?

It is very common for pregnant women to have bone pain in the late pregnancy, because at this time the pregnant woman's belly has become very large, so the belly will compress the pregnant woman's sciatic nerve, which may cause bone pain in pregnant women, especially in the days before and after delivery, the baby will make a pelvic movement. If this movement continues, it will also cause pain in the female lower body. So what is the reason for bone pain in the late pregnancy?

As the fetus grows bigger, it will cause pressure on the perineum and pain. This is a normal phenomenon. You should pay attention to get more rest, avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time, and change your posture appropriately. When you sleep at night, you can find a pillow or something like that to clamp between your legs, and put a cushion under your buttocks. This will make sleeping more comfortable. Follow your doctor's instructions for regular prenatal checkups.

What causes bone pain in the late pregnancy? This kind of bone pain in the late pregnancy may be due to the influence of the following factors: The first type is excessive load, such as the weight of the fetus or amniotic fluid in the late pregnancy, which will cause a relatively large load on the lumbar spine, pelvis and lower limbs. When the load is heavy, local pain will occur. The second type of factor is osteoporosis. Because the fetus grows too fast and the pregnant woman lacks calcium in her body, she will suffer from osteoporosis throughout her body over time. Osteoporosis will cause some bone pain in the lumbar spine, hips or lower limbs. The third reason is that as the physiological curvature of the lumbar spine changes, it may stimulate or compress the previous nerve roots, resulting in the clinical manifestation of radiating pain. The fourth major factor is that as the fetus grows, the load on the joints increases, which may induce arthritis that previously had mild symptoms. This is also a cause of bone pain.

1. Why does the pubic bone hurt?

After a woman becomes pregnant, the baby will grow day by day. In order to meet the development of the fetus and deliver the baby smoothly, the body will automatically secrete a hormone to relax the pelvis. The joint where the two pubic bones are connected will lose its previous stability. When the pregnant mother moves, the two pubic bones will rub against each other and cause pain.

Some pregnant women experience more severe pain, while others experience less. This is caused by many reasons. If the pregnant woman is too light or too heavy, the fetus is too large, or she exercises vigorously during pregnancy, these will aggravate the pubic pain.

2. How to relieve pubic pain?

1. Maintain a normal weight

For pregnant women who are overweight, the pubic bone needs to bear greater pressure, so the pain is more intense; while for pregnant women who are underweight, the bone joints are more obvious, the friction is more severe, and the pain will also increase; therefore, expectant mothers during pregnancy should maintain normal weight gain, and should not be overweight or underweight.

2. Avoid strenuous exercise in late pregnancy

By the late pregnancy, the fetus has basically developed and the pressure on the expectant mother's abdomen and pubic bone is getting greater and greater. Vigorous exercise will increase the pregnant mother's stress, increase pain, and even cause premature birth. When taking a walk, if the pregnant mother feels tired, she should stop and rest immediately, and don't force herself to walk.
