In the third trimester, the growth rate of the expectant mother's abdomen is almost visible to the naked eye. This kind of change makes prospective mothers look forward to and excitement, because it means that the fetus is growing up healthily, and it represents the close of the expected date of birth. It is about to meet with the baby, and how can the pregnant mothers calm down? However, the abdomen also brings a lot of inconvenience to the life of the expectant mother in the third trimester. How should these inconveniences be alleviated?
First, pubic pain
By the third trimester, most expectant mothers will experience this pain.
The pubic bone is in front of the pelvis of the body. There are two pieces of bone in total. Of course, the two pubic bones are not just close together but leave a gap. The middle connects them with ligaments and fibrocartilage, which brings pain to the expectant mother. The reason is precise because of the excessive separation of the joint.
When the pain occurs, the feeling of pain is not only the pubic bones but also the pain in the vicinity of the groin in front of the pelvis, even the mother's back, hips, and inner thighs are also implicated. Severe pain indicates that the amplitude of the pubic peak is relatively large. At this time, it is very likely that the mother's ligament has already had edema and strain, which makes it difficult for the expectant mother to move, so the expectant mother has to rest in bed. The pubic pain will gradually disappear after delivery because the widened gap will slowly recover after delivery.
Mitigation method:
1. Ice
If it is caused by pubic bone, you can use ice to relieve it in the sore area.
2. Reduce the range of motion
When the expectant mother does some movements, it will not cause pubic pain at the time, but when the rest is at night, the pain will gradually strengthen, so in the usual life, some will involve the pubic movement, pay attention to reduce the amplitude.
3. Keep the two legs symmetrically standing
When standing, avoid the continuous separation of the legs. If you must stand on one leg, be careful.
4. Use the pillow to relieve pain
When sleeping, expectant mothers can put a pillow between the legs. When turning over, pay attention to the parallel movement of the body.
5. Strengthen the rest
Expectant mothers with pubic pain should pay more attention to rest, keep the back upright when sitting down, and support the back.
6. Elastic strap
In severe cases, the expectant mother can consult the doctor to use the elastic force to tie the pelvis and reduce the pressure on the pelvis.
Second, frequent fetal movement:
Normal fetal movement is about 30 times every 12 hours or more than 4 times per hour. It is the peak period of fetal baby exercise when it is 32 to 34 weeks of pregnancy, but by 38 weeks, the fetal movement will gradually decrease. When entering the third trimester, expectant mothers should pay special attention to the number of fetal movements. If the fetal movement of the fetus is less than 20 times within one day, it may indicate the lack of oxygen in the fetus.
