What is the reason for severe lower abdominal pain in a 37-week pregnant woman?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

You're almost at your due date at 37 weeks. At this stage, when you exert force, your abdomen will tighten. The baby is so big, it's pressing on other internal organs. I'm currently at 35 weeks, and I occasionally experience lower abdominal pain. The doctor explained it to me this way. Since we're all close to giving birth, avoid straining yourself and lifting heavy objects. As long as there's no bleeding or rupture of the amniotic fluid, just pay attention to the baby's movements.
