33 weeks pregnant with dull abdominal pain

From an embryo to a child is a natural process, but the pressure that expectant mothers have to bear during this period is not small. Many expectant mothers are panic about many things during pregnancy due to their lack of experience. After 33 weeks of pregnancy, they sometimes feel a dull pain in the lower abdomen. Generally, there are two reasons. One is physiological pain, which is normal as the baby grows. The other is pathological pain, which is a complication. If it is a short-term pain, it is the first type and there is no need to worry.

The first physiological cause of pain.

As the fetus continues to grow, the burden on the expectant mother's abdomen and body gradually increases. In addition, as delivery approaches, the frequency of abdominal pain will increase significantly compared to the second trimester. If you feel a little pain in your stomach at 33 weeks of pregnancy, it may be physiological abdominal pain. ① As the baby grows, the expectant mother's uterus is also gradually enlarging. The enlarged uterus constantly stimulates the lower edge of the ribs, which can cause dull rib pain in expectant mothers. Generally speaking, this is physiological and does not require special treatment. Lying on the left side can help relieve pain. ② In the late pregnancy, expectant mothers sometimes experience lower abdominal pain due to false labor when resting at night. The pain usually lasts only a few seconds, with intervals of several hours. It is not accompanied by a feeling of falling, and the symptoms will be relieved during the day.

The second cause of pathological pain.

It may be pathological abdominal pain. If you experience abdominal pain in early pregnancy, especially lower abdominal pain, the first thing you should consider is whether it is a pregnancy complication. Common complications include threatened miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy.

If a pregnant woman experiences paroxysmal or regular lower abdominal pain in the first few months of pregnancy, it may indicate threatened miscarriage. Lifestyle care: If pain worsens or bleeding continues, seek medical attention immediately. Some expectant mothers believe that abdominal pain in early pregnancy may be accidental and it is not a big deal and they just need to lie down in bed and rest. This blind measure of bed rest to protect the fetus is not advisable. You should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid delaying the disease.

Third, don’t worry too much.

It can be seen that if there is only a little abdominal pain at 33 weeks, it may be menstrual pain. The mother does not need to worry too much and does not need to seek treatment. Just rest more. However, if there is lower abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, the mother should be alert to the sign of premature birth. Remember to go to the hospital for fetal preservation treatment in time. The mother should adjust her mood. The more panicked she is, the more chaotic things will be. I wish you good health.
