The muscles between my legs hurt, walking hurts to the point of tears. Pregnancy 39 weeks. Is it normal that it hurts so much?
This is the penultimate week of pregnancy, if we take into account its ideal 40-week duration. But birth may occur several weeks earlier or later, which is normal. At 39 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus is completely ready for independent functioning. The lungs are fully mature and will start working immediately with the first portion of inhaled air. The digestive system is able to accept, promote, digest and assimilate food: villi have already formed on the mucous membrane, the pancreas produces the necessary enzymes. True, the baby’s intestines are still sterile, but after the first meal bacteria will begin to colonize it.
The small heart works properly, pumping blood throughout the body, and the kidneys, removing metabolic products through the mother’s excretory system. The amount of amniotic fluid at the 39th week of pregnancy decreases noticeably, but it does not stop renewing every 3 hours, and this happens until it leaves.
The baby's vision is already well developed: he not only reacts to light and darkness, flickering and movement in front of his eyes, but is also able to focus his gaze at a distance of 20-30 cm, that is, during feeding he will see your face! Be sure to smile at him!
The baby's central nervous system is still developing. This process will continue after his birth.
A child at 39 weeks of pregnancy is already very beautiful and looks like a baby: the skin has smoothed out and acquired a pleasant pinkish tint, folds and cheeks have appeared, the fluff and vernix has almost completely disappeared. Despite the cramped space, he continues to grow and get better: his full height (size) already exceeds 50 cm, and his weight reaches 3500 g. Of course, these data are very individual.
The uterus tightly envelops its resident, so the mother feels almost his every movement. Try to capture this moment in your memory: it will never happen again...
You are probably looking forward to giving birth: after all, the state of heaviness throughout the body and discomfort has not only become tired for a long time, but has reached its peak. The uterus puts all its weight on the bladder, making trips to the toilet seem endless! To help your bladder empty as much as possible, lean forward when urinating and don't rush to stand up. You also experience strong pressure on the perineum and pelvis, which causes aching, stabbing and shooting pains that radiate to your legs. It hurts to walk, it’s uncomfortable to sit, it’s hard to lie down, sometimes it’s impossible to find a comfortable position for sleeping...
Yet, despite the weakness and fatigue, strength and inspiration come from nowhere for most mothers: the “nesting syndrome” begins. A woman with a twinkle in her eyes begins to put things in order in the house, creating coziness and comfort for the whole family and especially its new member. This is perhaps the most pleasant feeling before childbirth. It allows mom to be distracted and charges her with the necessary optimism. But don't overdo it. Now you need to save your strength for childbirth, so take on the role of foreman and let your family carry out your instructions.
Do not forget about daily walks, since the baby now needs oxygen more than ever before: the placenta begins to age and no longer performs its functions as diligently.
At 39 weeks of pregnancy, the cervix begins to shorten and dilate. You will begin to feel the baby's head in the pelvis between your thighs, which presses on the bottom of the pelvis.
The belly at 39 weeks of pregnancy has most likely already dropped. In primiparous women this happens several weeks before giving birth, in multiparous women it can happen right the day before, and in some cases the belly does not drop at all. But the baby is already rushing to the exit: its presenting part (the one to which it will be born), in most cases this is the head, enters the pelvic area. The doctor can feel it during examination - both externally and internally. The tone of the abdominal walls decreases - and the fundus of the uterus deviates slightly anteriorly.
My belly is huge now! The skin is very stretched, which is why it often itches, and the navel may protrude outward. Don't let this worry you: after giving birth, everything will fall into place.
In recent weeks, you have had the good fortune to watch your baby dance: his stomach was literally shaking. Before giving birth, the discos stop, the baby calms down, but you should still feel his movements every day, they are just not as active anymore - it has become too cramped inside for activity.
Neither a big belly nor continued weight gain with the baby should no longer affect your own weight at 39 weeks of pregnancy. By this time, the total gain for the entire gestation period was 11-16 kg (plus or minus). And now you should no longer get better. On the contrary: before giving birth, a woman usually loses a little weight (literally 1-2 kilograms) due to increased removal of fluid from the body. This is a preparatory stage planned by nature: a woman must be flexible and mobile in order to give birth more easily.
Therefore, do not stop weighing yourself: sudden underweight will warn you about an imminent birth.
Often a woman's appetite disappears a few days before giving birth. But it also happens that no special changes occur in this regard.
Sex at 39 weeks of pregnancy is actually sex before labor begins. Is it possible and worth it to practice? Doctors answer this question differently, and each couple must decide for themselves. Until recently, doctors imposed a strict ban on intimacy in the last 6 weeks of pregnancy. The main argument for this position is that orgasm stimulates uterine contractions and can cause premature birth. Now you are no longer afraid of them, and this point of view has long been refuted. You should focus solely on the woman’s well-being. Some of them are quite tired and feel unwell, so in recent weeks they have not felt attracted to their spouse. But many, on the contrary, need intimacy with him, want to feel loved, desired, needed. Sex at 39 weeks of pregnancy is not forbidden if the integrity of the amniotic sac is preserved and future parents need intimacy with each other. Moreover, doctors around the world have long come to the conclusion that sex before labor is the best natural stimulation, and in some countries it is even recommended to have sex after the onset of regular contractions in order to prepare the cervix for dilatation and generally facilitate and speed up the process of childbirth. The fact is that male secretion contains the hormone prostaglandin, which prepares the cervix, and endorphins released in the mother’s body during sex act as a mild pain reliever.
However, the future dad should be extremely affectionate and careful. And if mom feels pain and discomfort during sex, then it is better to stop it.
In the last weeks of pregnancy, you are probably already experiencing aching pain in the lower abdomen, which portends an imminent birth. Training contractions became more painful than before. The movements of the child also often cause pain to the woman. When you try to stand up or change your body position, you may experience pain in your stomach, side, or back.
39 week pregnancy photo
At 39 weeks of pregnancy, the perineal area hurts the most: the baby has dropped and is pressing on the pelvic floor. You may also feel this pain in the lower back (lower back and sacrum).
Due to the discrepancy of the bones in this area, aching, sometimes sharp pain appears. Shooting and stabbing pain also radiates to the legs, especially while walking.
When real contractions begin, the pain will increase and intensify. It is important to learn how to relax in response to pain, so if you still have a day or two, then use it to master relaxation and breathing techniques.
In addition, your breasts may begin to hurt at 39 weeks of pregnancy. This is not strange, because very soon she will have to feed the baby: the production of colostrum has already begun.
Because of this, you may notice milk leaking from your breasts. Do not squeeze out colostrum under any circumstances: maintain good hygiene, wash your breasts at least 2 times a day, and gently blot the liquid on your nipples.
If the mucus plug has not yet begun to come off, then this may happen now. However, the entire process usually takes several days (or even weeks), since most often the mucus plug comes out in parts, and not all at once. This is indicated by the discharge of thick, viscous mucus at 39 weeks of pregnancy. It is clear, white, yellowish or cream in color, but may also contain streaks of blood.
The passage of the mucus plug is one of the harbingers of labor, but does not mean that it has already begun. Therefore, calmly continue your business, taking into account only that the cervix is now open to infections, which means that sex and swimming in stagnant water should be canceled. Brownish or reddish traces in the mucus indicate that labor is likely to be a few hours away.
However, if the passage of the mucous plug is accompanied by bleeding, then you must go to the hospital immediately, since the placenta may expel prematurely.
In addition, the rupture of amniotic fluid foretells the impending birth. They may leak in small portions, which you observe by the release of clear fluid from the genital tract. And it happens that the amniotic sac bursts, and the water flows out simultaneously, in a stream - you certainly won’t miss this.
Most often, the water breaks in the morning, when the woman gets out of bed or has not even gotten out of bed yet, but in general this can happen at any minute. At the same time, many people hear a muffled pop that precedes the flow of water. The opening of the amniotic sac and the release of water are not accompanied by any pain.
Usually after this labor begins. If your water breaks immediately and you literally gush, then don’t wait for contractions, but get ready for the maternity hospital right away. Don’t worry if the contractions have already become intense, but your water still hasn’t broken: this often happens in the maternity hospital, and it is possible that the amniotic sac will be punctured on purpose - this does not mean anything bad.
Normally, amniotic fluid is clean and transparent, and may contain white flakes of vernix that covered the baby. They are odorless or have a slightly sweet smell. However, sometimes the baby’s original feces, meconium, gets into the amniotic fluid, and there is a high risk of the baby swallowing it. This condition is a little dangerous, so if the waters are greenish or brownish, you should go to the hospital immediately.
We have already looked at many of the signs of labor. In particular, we know that before childbirth the stomach aches, the lower back, back, perineum, legs, and also the bones of the hip joint hurt. The stomach itself drops, which makes it easier for a woman to breathe, the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract improves a little, and this nasty heartburn that has been bothering the expectant mother for so long may even disappear! But trips to the toilet become more frequent: due to the pressure of the uterus, the bladder and rectum are forced to empty themselves more often. Sometimes you even get an upset stomach, as if you were worried - this is the work of hormones preparing the body for childbirth.
You will again remember what sudden mood swings are, or rather, your family will remember this. Let them not take your nervousness to heart, which can grow especially strong from the moment regular contractions begin.
Appetite usually decreases before childbirth (although not always). And last but not least, this leads to a slight decrease in body weight.
Meanwhile, the baby is also preparing for birth. And besides the fact that he lowers himself and presses on my mother’s crotch, he also behaves more modestly - he practically calms down. However, periods of calm can be replaced by increased activity (as much as possible in cramped conditions): the baby practices tactics during childbirth.
The uterus has long begun to train, periodically contracting. But when labor begins, the contractions will become real.
Many mothers worry that they will miss the onset of labor, but this is in vain: believe me, you will immediately understand that this is it. Firstly, the release of the mucus plug and amniotic fluid will tell you that the ice has broken. Secondly, even if this does not happen, you will not miss real contractions: they begin to repeat every 10-15 minutes, then every 5 minutes, then even more often, while the pain increases all the time: try to relax and rest as much as possible in the period between contractions. If your appetite suddenly awakens, then eat something light (it’s good to be prepared for this in advance).
From this moment, real labor begins, and you already move to a different status - a woman in labor.
Now you need to focus on yourself and the baby. Help each other, listen to each other, breathe correctly, follow all instructions from the medical staff.
The longer you can stay on your feet, the better, so walk around during contractions, stopping to rest. When contractions begin to feel intensely painful, it's time to use breathing techniques. During the contraction, breathe evenly, deeply, calmly - this will moderate the pain and preserve strength for the second period.
Do not rush to push - this can only be done on the doctor’s command when the cervix is fully dilated. Then push no matter what, stopping only as directed by your doctor. Don't be embarrassed by unexpected urination or other unforeseen nuances - they don't matter to anyone right now. It is very important to take a comfortable body position during pushing - this point should ideally be discussed with the doctor in advance. In the period between attempts, it is extremely necessary to relax and rest, restoring spent strength as much as possible.
In the second stage of labor, when the baby is born, a lot of strength and effort will be required from you. It is important to give your best. Different women experience this period of childbirth differently: some feel simply inhuman fatigue, others seem to be reborn and accumulate all their resources.
Your thoughts should now be directed in one direction: the baby is trying very hard, and you are obliged to help him be born as easily and naturally as possible. Don't be afraid of anything! Don’t let the pain scare you: it will not exceed a threshold that you will not be able to overcome, nature has taken care of this.
Relax as much as possible and remember everything you have read and heard about as you prepare for childbirth. The most important thing is that childbirth at 39 weeks of pregnancy is timely and physiological. The baby is fully matured and absolutely ready for birth, he is great because he chose the right moment for this.
Immediately after the baby is born, obstetricians will clamp the umbilical cord, and when it stops pulsating, they will cut it. The baby should ideally be placed on the mother's breast - this is the best outcome of childbirth for both you and the baby. Getting your baby's first colostrum is incredibly important! This is his immunity, health and strength. But first, if the baby suddenly swallowed water with meconium, the obstetricians will clear his bronchi of the contents (that is, they will perform lavage).
Most likely the bones are coming apart or the ligaments are stretching. I also had hellish pain. I couldn't walk. By the way, I created this topic a month ago in the pregnancy section. try searching. The girls gave me a lot of useful advice. Read it, maybe it will help you too. Gymnastics suited me. However, something else has already begun: in the area where the legs grow, everything is going numb. especially in the morning. It seems like it’s getting easier, but it’s already hard on your feet all day. New2 September 2009, 09:39
Thanks everyone for the answers. I went to the doctor, she prescribed me Calcium D3 Nycomed and told me to take a drink. and said everything was fine. so as not to worry. New8 November 2012, 22:36
I heard that calcium d-3 nikomed should not be used at all, it seems to settle either in the kidneys or in the liver - I don’t really remember. New2 September 2009, 09:47
AAAA)) A familiar situation)) Now I’m 36 weeks, I can’t sleep, my bones are coming apart and they also hurt, and the first time I also had pain was about 25 weeks, at night you roll over, the pain is hellish and there’s a crunching sound all over the room)))) It’s okay . New31 August 2010, 15:06
Hello! Can the bones between my legs start to ache at 3 months, 11 weeks (it seems too early). I don’t have any pain yet, only my friend, who is also expecting a baby, has pain at 12 weeks. New18 December 2010, 22:02
We are 33 weeks, and everything hurts “there” too. but it doesn’t crunch, thank God))))))) I also think that the body is getting ready, probably everything is expanding))) I’ll see the doctor in a couple of days - I’ll find out what, how and why New December 24, 2010, 09:51
Childbirth at the 39th week of pregnancy: its harbingers
Until labor begins, listen to yourself, watch for possible changes that will be harbingers of the onset of the birth process. Shortly before the onset of labor, the expectant mother can learn about its approach by changes in appetite - it is clearly decreasing. The weight of the woman in labor may also decrease: many mothers who gave birth said that the weight at the very end of pregnancy decreases by one to two kilograms.
At 39 weeks of pregnancy, the stomach is more likely to pull, because... Precursor contractions, which were previously completely painless and rare, become more intense. In addition to the fact that contractions become more frequent, they appear against the background of a pulling lower back and tummy: a pulling type of pain that rings the lower tummy, as well as the lumbar area, is another of the many precursors of pregnancy. Many expectant mothers are very afraid of mistaking the difference between false and real contractions, but this can be done by changing the position of the body. After all, often at 39 weeks of pregnancy the stomach feels tight not because of the onset of labor. But if you suddenly think that labor has begun, get up, walk around the house, and sit on the chair again. If the contractions have passed, then it is too early for you to go to the maternity hospital.
When labor begins, you will definitely understand this; its approach will be indicated by the mucus in the vaginal discharge. It can be either pink or brown, or transparent. The mucus admixture is part of the so-called mucus plug, which closes the entrance to the uterus. During this period, the cervix contracts and gradually softens, preparing for childbirth, and particles of this plug come out. You will see the mucous plug itself in the form of a lump of mucus, perhaps with streaks of blood; the volume of the lump will be equal to two tablespoons. The removal of the mucous membrane is another signal that the process of labor is about to begin.
Most women, before the onset of labor, have a nesting instinct - from nowhere, but they have the strength and a great desire to equip the house, make it as comfortable as possible. You should not deny yourself this pleasure, but difficult physical work should be left to someone else. You need to save your strength for the most significant event in your life.
Also, at the 39th week of pregnancy, the stomach feels tight and for several days before giving birth, the woman may also experience gastrointestinal dysfunction. Nausea, diarrhea, indigestion, maybe vomiting - all these signs may well be harbingers of the onset of labor. In the meantime, everything is unchanged in the stomach, provide the baby with the necessary supply of oxygen - go for a walk in the park. However, you should not go very far from home.
Another sign of labor is a drooping abdomen. The belly drops between the thirty-sixth and thirty-eighth weeks of pregnancy, but it can happen now. Or this may not happen at all - some expectant mothers do not notice a drooping tummy until the onset of labor. If your stomach drops, you will definitely feel relief: it will become easier to breathe, and the annoying heartburn will subside. Instead, there will be a need to urinate more often: the uterus in this case puts pressure on the bladder, which means that the need to empty it more often increases.
Don't worry if you find pain in the lower abdomen that radiates to the lower back. Often, if at 39 weeks of pregnancy your stomach feels tight, this is normal, which indicates that labor is approaching.
We already know about the nature of pain in the lower abdomen and lower back - these are signs of the body’s preparation for future birth and its way of telling the expectant mother about its approach. Therefore, if you have a tummy tug at 39 weeks of pregnancy, there is no need to panic.
Again, due to the body's preparation for a quick birth, you are now most likely experiencing pain symptoms in the pelvic area, in the pubis, in the sacrum. Your body intensively produces the hormone relaxin, the main task of which is to relax and soften ligaments and bones. Also at this stage, the softened pelvic bones gradually diverge, preparing the best conditions for the child to move through the birth canal. The expectant mother has to endure the pain caused by such changes in the body and wait for the birth process, after which the pain will go away on its own.
Most likely, you already know pain in the spine, in the back, in the sacrum. This is the result of a shift in the center of gravity and increased loads. For the same reason, pain in the legs is widespread. In addition: you may feel aching, shooting pain due to compression of the femoral nerve in the back of the leg, which sometimes reaches the knee. Tips on how to reduce pain in the back, sacrum, and legs are still the same: regular unloading, proper rest, sleeping in the correct body position, wearing a prenatal bandage.
By this time, you may also feel like your chest is hurting. There is no need to be afraid of this: the breasts have now clearly become larger and heavier, and soon they will be needed to feed the baby. In the meantime, you patiently remove colostrum from your breasts and endure the typical pain and heaviness in your breasts.
Pregnancy brings many surprises to the expectant mother, and often they are not the most pleasant. One of these negative surprises is often pain between the legs. Such pain occurs in 87 percent of women, most often pain between the legs appears in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy. The causes of such pain are most often changes in the body of a pregnant woman. Often such pains go almost unnoticed, but there are also cases of serious pain that the expectant mother cannot cope with on her own. Of course, with such severe pain, it is necessary to urgently seek medical help, since such pain can lead to irreparable consequences. But let's not be scared in advance, but let's figure it out step by step.
Why does it hurt between your legs during pregnancy?
To understand why it hurts between the legs during pregnancy, you need to identify the causes of such pain, let’s look at them in more detail:
Pregnancy 35 weeks pain between legs
At 35 weeks of pregnancy, according to a global research company, the manifestation of pain between the legs in the pubic area is most often caused by the overweight of the expectant mother. After all, the human body cannot adapt to the additional load so quickly, which leads to the appearance of pain. During pregnancy, the load on the spine and pelvic area can increase up to three times the normal load to which your body is accustomed. So, if you are just planning a pregnancy, you should think about strengthening your muscles in advance. You should also not think that the only reason for the appearance of pain between the legs at 35 weeks of pregnancy can only be excess weight. Although this is the most common problem at this stage, it is still worth consulting with a doctor, because such pain, especially if it has a sharp, gripping nature, can lead to spontaneous miscarriage.
Pregnancy 36 weeks pain between legs
At 36 weeks of pregnancy, the main cause of pain in the pubic area can still be identified as one of the most obvious ones listed above. This is the growth of the fetus, during which prolapse of the abdomen occurs, i.e. the stomach drops to its lowest point. In this case, the fetus begins to put pressure on the woman’s ligaments and muscles; usually such discomfort is accompanied by pain, in some cases severe. In any case, it is worth consulting a gynecologist, who will definitely establish a diagnosis. Of course, usually such pains are not so severe, and expectant mothers tolerate them calmly. Most often, pain is observed at night, during sleep, when, after a long stay in one position, for example, on the right side, a woman tries to roll over to the other side; according to many women in labor, the pain intensifies when the bladder fills during sleep, in In this case, many of them, in their own way, advise releasing him before going to bed. It is also worth saying that the manifestations of pain between the legs during pregnancy before the 37th week should not be left without due attention, since this discomfort can be a sign of various complications, so we once again recommend that you immediately consult your doctor for examination and possible treatment .
Pregnancy 37 weeks pain between legs
Around the beginning of the 37th week of pregnancy, changes in the hip joint begin in a woman’s body, namely their divergence. At this moment, the woman experiences severe discomfort, pain in the pubic area can be at its peak, this is a rather painful period of pregnancy. In addition, severe divergence of the hip joints can cause premature birth. Also, another cause of pain between the legs at this stage of pregnancy is often that the fetus begins to put pressure on the so-called sciatic nerve, which causes pain. Other factors can also cause pain in the pubic area, especially in the early stages; they are also worth familiarizing yourself with, read more here .
38 weeks pregnant pain between legs
Perhaps, it is impossible to particularly highlight the 38th week of pregnancy in this case, since the cause of pain between a woman’s legs, just like at 37 weeks, is the approach of labor. Namely, the fetus continues to increase in size and free up the birth canal for itself, which leads to divergence of the hip joints, behind which the ligaments and muscles do not keep pace with stretching, which leads to pain in the area between the legs. A little later we will write a list of special exercises recommended for pregnant women, but which can only be performed after consultation with a doctor and the absence of a diagnosis of the threat of premature birth.
Why does it hurt between your legs during pregnancy? What to do?
And so, after we have found out why there is pain between the legs during pregnancy and have established the main possible causes, you are wondering what to do and how to deal with this problem. First of all, we still recommend that you visit your doctor, and also take into account the recommendations listed below, which may not completely eliminate the pain, but will help greatly reduce pain:
By resorting to these recommendations, the expectant mother can not only reduce pain in the pubic area, but also improve her overall condition, preparing for and facilitating future childbirth.
Dietary recommendations
A proper diet is always beneficial, whether you are pregnant or just taking care of the good condition of your body. Of course, during pregnancy, the correct diet still has a number of its own characteristics. What should it contain:
Exercise for pain between the legs
Often, when pain occurs between the legs, the doctor recommends the expectant mother to perform a series of physical exercises or even prescribes a referral for special classes in the pool or exercise therapy room. Such exercises should be performed only after consultation with the doctor managing your pregnancy. These exercises are aimed at strengthening and maintaining tone of the upper and lower leg muscles:
Of course, physical exercises are extremely useful, but doing them again is worth saying, it is possible only after the recommendation of your doctor, also our personal advice when performing these exercises is to line up so that someone is next to you. In addition to physical exercises, the expectant mother will also benefit from contrast dousing; of course, you should not douse yourself with cold water. But it is better not to visit hot and steam baths, baths and saunas. To reduce pain, you can also use compression garments, which normalize blood circulation and reduce pain in the legs.
Video on the topic “ pain between the legs during pregnancy”
Pregnancy is the most exciting and anticipated event in the life of every woman. But no matter how magical this time is, almost every expectant mother will have to face very unpleasant surprises, and a seemingly joyful moment is overshadowed by discomfort, and often even pain.
Women who feel strange discomfort or pain in the pubic, perineal or vaginal area during pregnancy tend to panic and do nothing, thereby worsening existing problems.
Girls in an “interesting” position always experience one or another type of discomfort, although doctors unanimously insist that during the normal course of pregnancy, there should be no concern.
Any, even momentary, pain in the groin area during pregnancy will be a signal about existing abnormalities:
The main reason for pain between the legs and in the pubis during pregnancy usually appears in the last weeks and is a harbinger of the imminent birth of the baby. The child exerts pressure on the bones and ligaments in the hip area, as if pressing on them. Discomfort occurs when the ligaments are stretched too intensely. The pain that occurs for these reasons can be called dull. This does not pose any threat to pregnancy.
Excessive pressure on the sciatic nerve is another possible cause of pain. The sensations in this case can be described as a spasm, the pain is pronounced. Also in this case, there are difficulties when moving: moving your legs, as well as turning from side to side, will cause pain.
There is no solution for this type of deviation. Doctors advise waiting until the baby turns over, then there is a chance that the nerve pinched by the child’s body will return to its normal position and the pain will stop.
3. Varicose veins
During pregnancy, loosening of the ligaments in this area may occur. This is a very serious disease, so if the discomfort is not related to the birth of a child, then you should not delay visiting your doctor.
4. Unreasonable pain in the early stages
If a woman feels discomfort in the first trimester, she must consult a doctor and undergo an examination, since this condition can lead to the threat of miscarriage.
5. Discomfort in this place may be due to stones in the kidneys or ureter , sexually transmitted diseases or infectious diseases (herpes, endometritis).
Considering the fact that most pain during pregnancy is a relapse of some hidden disease, coping with this problem is a very difficult task. While carrying a child, most medications are not recommended for use, so the very first and most important thing a woman should do is seek qualified help.
During the third trimester of pregnancy, a woman may experience pain in her pubic bone. Why is this happening? This can be easily explained by the physiological characteristics of a pregnant woman; during this period, the pelvic bones begin to move apart so that the child passes through the birth canal. However, for some, the pain takes on a pronounced character and this is not a good sign.
The only cause of this condition is symphysitis.
This disease is characterized by the following symptoms:
The norm during pregnancy is pain of a pulling nature, moving from the pubis to the femoral part. However, if unpleasant sensations bother you when raising your legs up from a lying position, then you should immediately contact a gynecologist.
The causes of severe bone discrepancy have not been established. Experts believe that the disease progresses with the following features:
Treatment for pubic pain is usually not used. In case of severe, unbearable pain, taking No-Spa tablets or rubbing with Menovazin solution is allowed. It is recommended to relieve swelling in this area with Chondroxide gel and Betalgon ointment. But you should not overuse tablets containing calcium.
The following measures are recommended to reduce discomfort, as well as to prevent the further development of symphysitis:
Vaginal pain usually occurs early in pregnancy. This is due to the fact that the uterus increases in size and is an absolutely normal sensation observed in every pregnant woman.
Why does the vagina still hurt during pregnancy?
In this situation, patients usually note itching and burning of the external genitalia, as well as copious mucous discharge with an unpleasant odor. If these symptoms appear, you should immediately consult a gynecologist to determine the disease and successful treatment.
A quite often observed phenomenon in pregnant women, associated with the restructuring of the body and the production of hormones. Main sensations: vaginal itching and burning, feeling of dryness, unpleasant odor. The treatment is carried out by a gynecologist, who will also help diagnose changes in microflora.
In this case, pain in the vagina is felt during and after sexual intercourse, purulent discharge is observed, and itching inside the vagina and external organs is also disturbing.
In this case, the general symptoms of pregnancy include stabbing pain in the vagina, which constantly increases, pain in the abdomen and back, as well as spotting.
You can learn more about pregnancy after an abortion or miscarriage.
If you experience constant pain in the vagina or labia during pregnancy, you should immediately seek the help of specialists, which will help prevent subsequent complications. Sometimes, to establish the true cause of pain in the vagina, you will need to consult not only a gynecologist, but also a neurologist and endocrinologist.
The following will help you get rid of unpleasant sensations for a while:
Several simple ways will help reduce discomfort from pain in the perineum, pubic area and vagina during pregnancy:
Whatever the pain, pregnant women need to be careful with medications:
