Back pain during 7 months of pregnancy

Lower back pain in the seventh month of pregnancy is a common symptom. At this time, the fetus is relatively large, which makes the spine curvature greater and the weight it bears is also heavier, so it is easy to have lower back pain. Generally, it is physiological. If you experience severe back pain during your seventh month of pregnancy, you should take it seriously. Don't be careless and go to the hospital for treatment in time. Let us now take a closer look at the situation regarding lower back pain during the seventh month of pregnancy.

1. Why do I have back pain and discharge during my 7th month of pregnancy?

Lower back pain is a normal reaction during pregnancy. If the amount of water flowing is large and relatively warm, it is possible that the amniotic membrane has ruptured. If the water continues to flow, it is recommended to see a doctor and raise the lower limbs. If the amount of water flowing is small, it may be due to relaxation of the urethral sphincter causing urine to flow out. Consider premature rupture of membranes. There are many reasons for premature rupture of membranes, such as ascending infection of reproductive tract pathogens, increased amniotic cavity pressure, high floating fetal presenting part, lack of vitamin C, and relaxation of the internal cervical os. If premature rupture of membranes occurs for more than 24 hours, the infection rate increases 5-10 times, and sudden rupture of membranes can easily lead to placental abruption.

2. Precautions for 7 months of pregnancy

1. The initially formed visual cortex of the fetus during this period can receive signals transmitted through the eyes, can distinguish between external light and dark, and can indirectly experience your visual perception. The fetus's brain nerves have developed and have the functions of thinking, feeling and memory. At this time, external light can promote the early improvement of the function of fetal retinal photoreceptor cells. Light prenatal education is beneficial to the development of fetal vision and the training of good work and rest habits.

2. The position of the fetal head is already known through prenatal examination. Choose a fixed time every day and use a flashlight to illuminate the fetal head through the abdominal wall. Don't do it for too long, 5 minutes each time. When the fetus sees light, it will turn its head and blink. When you are finished, you can turn the flashlight off and on several times. You should be sure to record your own feelings in detail, such as whether the fetal movement increases or decreases, whether it is big or small, and whether it is limb movement or body movement.

3. Generally speaking, the fetus will try to open its eyes at 8 months of pregnancy. At this time, what he can see is a red light inside the mother's body and the mother's body fluids moving under the orange shadow.

4. It is best to start light prenatal education from the 24th week of pregnancy, and moderate stimulation can be provided in the early stages. You can use a flashlight (weak light) as a light source at regular intervals every day when the fetus is awake, shining it in the direction of the fetal head on your abdomen for about 5 minutes each time. In order to allow the fetus to adapt to the changes in light, the flashlight can be turned off and on several times before the end of the session to facilitate the healthy visual development of the fetus.

The above are the things to pay attention to during the 7th month of pregnancy. In fact, back pain is normal. If you have water discharge, it depends on the situation and it is best to go to the hospital. After all, it is 7 months. Just in case, it may be a ruptured membrane. If there is little water discharge, it cannot be ruled out that it is urine. During this period, you should pay attention to nutrition and rest, and appropriate exercise is also good. At the same time, you can also do prenatal education.
