Patient's question:
I am a woman, 35 years old, and have noticed this symptom for a long time, but the condition has not improved. What could be the reason for lower abdominal pain and a feeling of heaviness at eight months of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
This is due to the weight of the fetus and the tension of the uterine ligaments during the late stage of pregnancy, causing a sensation of heaviness or dropping. This is a normal phenomenon. It is recommended to rest regularly and change seating or posture from time to time to alleviate the pain. You can also relieve the pain by gently stroking your abdomen.Then, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, and regulate physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to keep a positive mood, eat light, soft, and easy-to-digest foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
