What is the reason for the lower abdomen pain and leg soreness during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. Could you please tell me what exactly is going on with lower abdominal pain and sore calves during pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, pain during pregnancy is normal. As the pregnancy progresses and the fetus grows, the abdominal pressure of the pregnant woman increases, leading to compressive pain. This can often be managed without treatment, but it is important to get plenty of rest. Generally, doctors recommend bed rest and prohibit sexual activity for patients with signs of preeclampsia. Additionally, patients should create an environment that promotes emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
