During pregnancy, why does the abdomen feel heavy or like it's sinking?

Patient's question:

I have a particularly itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Why do I feel a sensation of heaviness in my abdomen during pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

The timing of the baby dropping into the pelvis varies from person to person.
The situation you mentioned may be a sign that the baby is starting to drop into the pelvis. It is recommended to have regular prenatal check-ups during pregnancy. Every 4 weeks for check-ups until the 36th week, and then once a week after the 36th week. Pay attention to nutrition during pregnancy. Take folic acid in the first 3 months, and start taking calcium, iron, and other trace elements needed by the body from the 4th month. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects the patient's body but can also lead to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
