What are the reasons for abdominal pain at 38 weeks of pregnancy without bleeding or water breaking?

Patient's question:

Patient: Female, 28 years old, 38 weeks pregnant, experiencing only lower abdominal pain, without bleeding or rupture of membranes. Is it time to give birth?

Doctor's answer:

This friend, according to your description, in the later stages of pregnancy, abdominal pain may reappear, possibly caused by contractions, which are symptoms of being close to delivery. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a careful check-up with an ultrasound. If the pain persists, in addition to being severe, it may mean you are at your due date. It is advised to pay attention to rest, drink plenty of warm water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, exercise moderately, and significantly improve your body's resistance. I hope the above explanation is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
