Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Please tell me why I'm having intermittent abdominal pain at night at 36+2 weeks of 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 be left untreated, but it is important to rest more. Weight gain before the 13th week of pregnancy is not significant, but after that, it increases by an average of 350g per week. It should not exceed 500g per week. By the time of full-term pregnancy, the average weight gain is about 12.5kg.
