What is the reason for lower back pain in late pregnancy?

Patient's question:

383 weeks last night, all night, the abdomen was hard, tight, and bloated. The baby was still very active. During the day, there were occasional lower back pains. The vagina wasn't painful, and there was no sensation. Her own breathing felt suffocating, and she had to take deep breaths every ten seconds to feel a bit better. It wasn't as severe as the kind of suffocation the guest experienced, but it was better when she stood up. Is the bloating false labor contractions? The baby has been moving very frequently these days. The fetal heart monitoring done the day before yesterday was fine, and it passed, but the baby was in the chest position, and it didn't feel like it had engaged. At 37 weeks, the ultrasound showed an abnormal, breech position.

Doctor's answer:

Dear Inquirer,
After reviewing your description, these are a series of symptoms caused by the fetus reducing in size during the late stages of pregnancy. If the baby is in breech position, it may be necessary to consider hospitalization. Breech position is particularly risky if the amniotic sac ruptures or the umbilical cord prolapses. If the baby remains in breech position, it is recommended to have a cesarean section before 39 weeks to terminate the pregnancy.
The above is the advice for the question "What causes lower back pain in late pregnancy?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
