Patient's question:
At 37 weeks. Entered the brim at 34 weeks. Yesterday's thorough check said the cervix had softened. Why does the baby's movement in the lower abdomen cause sharp pain during this period, walking causes a heavy pain, and feels like a needle prick. Besides lying down at night, the area around the buttocks is not, as if needing to urinate. But when going to the toilet, there's nothing, and when standing up or sitting down, there's no such feeling. Why is this??Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, you are 37 weeks pregnant. At 34 weeks, the baby engaged. Yesterday, a thorough examination revealed that the cervix had softened. During this period, the baby moving in the lower abdomen causes sharp pain, walking causes a heavy pain, and it feels like being pricked with a needle. At night when you lie down, the buttock area is not, like needing to urinate. Going to the toilet doesn't help, and standing up or sitting down doesn't have that feeling. In the later stages of pregnancy, when the baby engages, walking can strain the ligaments, so sharp pain may be felt, but it is generally not too severe. It is recommended that you do not panic, go to the hospital for regular prenatal check-ups, pay close attention to fetal movement, and seek hospitalization for delivery promptly if there is bleeding, abdominal pain, or premature rupture of membranes. Wish you a successful pregnancy!
