It seems that Sun Iridium also encountered a three-piece set of pain in the third trimester of pregnancy: insomnia, frequent urination, pubic pain, the sum of the three, the effect is multiplied several times, that taste, it is estimated that the mothers who have experienced it will not forget.
In fact, the third trimester is relatively speaking, is a more painful stage, with the growth of the fetus and the arrival of the date of delivery, the tolerance of all aspects of the pregnant mother's body can be said to have reached a pole, every day look forward to the early birth of the child, the due date will be sincerely launched.
So what is the biggest ordeal in the third trimester, and how to alleviate it?
1. Frequent urination
Frequent urination is a very common problem after pregnancy, from the second trimester of pregnancy, which is due to the continuous enlargement of the uterus, squeezing other organs, resulting in a smaller bladder volume, so it will appear more frequently than during pregnancy.
In the third trimester, frequent urination symptoms tend to be more severe, because around 38 weeks, the fetal head begins to decline, and the uterus will compress the bladder again. Coupled with the need to excrete the metabolites of pregnant mothers and fetuses during pregnancy, the amount of urine is increased, so it always feels like you are not peeing, or on the way to pee...
During the day is fine, especially at night, and the frequent night up makes the already bad quality of sleep worse.
At this time, it is recommended to:
Reduce the amount of water you drink within 2 hours before going to bed at night and go to the toilet before going to bed;
Eat less diuretic foods such as watermelon, winter melon, and celery;
The lying on the side in the second and third trimester of pregnancy is also conducive to reducing the compression of the ureter by the uterus;
If you have the intention of urinating, you still have to urinate in time, do not hold back.
Second, insomnia
Many mothers have not slept well for a long time in the third trimester, can't sleep, are very anxious, and are very painful.
There are many causes of insomnia during pregnancy, and you may not be able to solve all of the following problems, but few people can fail to win one:
Frequent urination, as mentioned above.
Night sweats, stuffy and irritable, weight gain, coupled with the influence of progesterone, body temperature increases, and some pregnant mothers will have night sweats. You can prepare a dry towel and spread it on the bed and sleep in loose, comfortable, sweat-absorbing clothes;
Poor breathing, easy to breathe in the third trimester, always feel like you can't breathe, especially when lying down, so it is uncomfortable.
Low back pain, the stomach becomes larger in the third trimester of pregnancy, in order to maintain the balance of the body, the back is pulled, easy to low back pain and back pain, resulting in very uncomfortable sleeping in the third trimester. You don't have to worry too much about lying on your left side, or use a maternity pillow or a few pillow pads under your body, or sleep in a half-seated position.
Leg cramps, sleeping at night in the third trimester is easy to cramp, pregnant mothers need to pay attention to calcium supplementation during pregnancy, do not let the legs get cold at night.
anxiety. When she can't sleep, pregnant women's emotions will be affected, afraid that the poor quality of sleep will affect the baby, and the more they think about it, the more they can't sleep.
To cope with insomnia, it is best to relax your mood and find ways to make yourself comfortable, such as taking a hot bath before going to bed, drinking a cup of milk, letting your husband help massage his legs, turning on the warm yellow light in the bedroom, listening to music, reading books... It is best not to look at the mobile phone, can not sleep and do not look, mobile phone blue light will affect the secretion of melatonin in the human body, and the content on the mobile phone constantly stimulates people's nerves, you will be difficult to have sleepiness.
3. Constipation
Constipation during pregnancy is also very common, also due to the compression of the fetus and the uterus, intestinal blood circulation is hindered, the function of defecation and digestive function is relatively weakened, and the rectum, after being compressed, will directly lead to the difficulty of defecation, and the pregnancy process of the pregnant mother's body progesterone secretion is large, which itself will affect the peristalsis of the stomach and intestines, plus the amount of exercise becomes smaller, constipation is a common thing, and even cause hemorrhoids.
So what to do?
Pregnant mothers are recommended to eat more vegetable grains and consume enough fiber to help intestinal peristalsis. You can eat some foods that have their own digestive function, such as pumpkin, yam, etc. During the day, you should also drink more water, eat less greasy and spicy foods, and appropriately increase exercise to help the body digest and absorb.
4. Pubic joint separation
Why does pubic pain occur in the third trimester?
It's all because of it: the pubic joint separation.
The pubic bone is two bones with triangular support at the pelvic floor, and the ligaments and fibrochondral tissue that connect them are called the pubic union, and after pregnancy, under the influence of progesterone and a hormone called "bradykinin", the pubic bone federation grows in preparation for fetal delivery.
When the pubic joint spacing is too long, there will be a strong feeling of pain throughout the pubic joint area, especially when walking and rolling over to lift a leg.
However, not all mothers will have pubic joint pain, and there are several types that are prone to this problem: too young or too thin, too tired during pregnancy, a short time between the previous child, a large fetus, and pregnant mothers who are pregnant with twins.
Moms who are unfortunate enough to encounter pubic pain can try to do this:
When sitting down, try to keep your back straight, and if you feel tired, you can put a few more cushions on top;
When standing, the legs stand side by side, slightly apart, sharing the gravity of the body;
When going up the stairs, after one leg goes up one step, the other leg first follows the step, and then up the next step;
When lying down, or try to lie on your side, when turning over, first put your legs together and try to pan, that is, keep your legs and hips moving at the same time, so that you can reduce the pain as much as possible.
Although there will be some kind of pain in the third trimester, it is also a necessary process for us to successfully meet the baby. During this period, as Sun Iridium said, the care and tolerance of the family is very important, and it is also very important for pregnant mothers to speak out about their pain and emotions, although no one can help us share the physical suffering and pain, but after sharing, our emotions can be released, which is also very important.
