It all depends on the intensity of the tingling sensation and additional symptoms. So, if the discomfort lasts less than an hour, there is no cause for concern. To relieve the condition of a pregnant woman during tingling, doctors recommend lying down and relaxing. And sometimes, on the contrary, walking in the fresh air helps.
Pulls the stomach during pregnancy, 3st trimester
Labor is getting closer, so any pulling or stabbing pains may turn out to be contractions. Have an “emergency suitcase” ready, a bag of things for the hospital. In the third trimester, training contractions can be the cause of pain. False contractions begin to appear after the 25th week of pregnancy, and a week before childbirth, a number of women experience contractions (short-term) daily. A woman can unwittingly cause a contraction of the uterus herself: getting carried away by drinks with caffeine, excessive physical activity and even sports, hot showers, emotional overexcitation. False or training contractions always pass, one has only to lie down and calm down.
How to count the interval between contractions
Childbirth, especially the first, few people have it quickly. To determine whether these are false contractions or the baby is really ready to be born, you can … with a pen and a piece of paper.
True contractions are distinguished by the fact that they are repeated after the same period of time. And from them, unlike the training ones, you cannot be distracted by switching your attention to something else.
At the initial stages, the contractions are repeated at intervals of 30 – 15 minutes, it is called latent phase of labor… Then the interval decreases, but the duration of the contraction increases.
Active phase of laborwhat is the interval of contractions: between contractions 2-3 minutes, and the duration of the fight is about 1 minutes… This phase lasts on average from 6 hours… At this time, the woman should already be in the birth ward.
Stabs and pulls the lower abdomen during pregnancy: harbingers of childbirth
For a week or a little more before the birth itself, many women notice:
loss of weight and appetite;
apathy, drowsiness;
drooping of the abdomen;
the child becomes less active;
discharge of the mucous plug (it filled the cervical canal throughout the pregnancy to protect the fetus from various infections).
Stomach hurts during pregnancy
There are legends about the gastronomic “fits” of pregnant women – condensed milk with lard, of course, is not a dish that has a beneficial effect on the gastrointestinal tract. But seriously, while waiting for the baby, many women actually allow themselves more than usual in terms of food. Of course, this also affects the work of the stomach. Doctors advise during pregnancy to follow a diet and even adhere to fasting days.
Another cause of abdominal pain associated with the work of the stomach is the restructuring of the body: the growing uterus displaces the internal organs. Hence, not only pain, but also bloating, dysbiosis, constipation.
But you cannot relax and assume that any pain in the stomach during pregnancy is the norm. These sensations can also be caused by a viral or bacterial infection.
Why does the pubic bone hurt during pregnancy?
Everyone has heard that the hormonal background changes during pregnancy, but for what, not many know. One of the reasons for hormonal changes in the body is literally “softening” of bones and cartilage, including the pubic bone. It is influenced by the hormone relaxin, so that it becomes more mobile and pliable during childbirth. Without this, it would be very difficult for the baby to go through the birth canal.
Therefore, the pain in the bone that you feel during pregnancy is a stretching of the cartilage, ligaments, and the place of the pubic joint. But these sensations do not cause much concern, if the pain intensifies, then it is clearly not a matter of the bone, it is important to consult a doctor.
Here, it would seem, everything is understandable: the muscle fibers of the umbilical ligament are stretched. But the navel may hurt during pregnancy for more dangerous reasons. It could be an umbilical hernia or even appendicitis.
If, in addition to cramping pains in the navel, the expectant mother feels nausea, she has diarrhea and a high temperature, then this is a reason for hospitalization. An intestinal infection may be the cause. Waiting at home is dangerous, an upset stomach increases the tone of not only the intestines, but also the uterus, it is dangerous with premature birth, and in the early stages – miscarriage.
Tingling and discomfort in the bladder area may indicate a urinary tract infection. This can usually be accompanied by pain and burning during and after urination. Tingling and pain in the right side can indicate diseases of the intestines, gallbladder and liver. Such problems can be accompanied by heartburn, nausea, belching, and stool changes. How dangerous it is, only a doctor can say, so if you experience pain in the abdomen, be sure to seek medical help.
