It is said that giving birth hurts the most!
In addition to the ten-level pain during childbirth, mothers who have experienced it know that the number of pains to experience is uncountable when pregnant in October.
Low back pain, joint pain, wrist pain, tail bone pain, and deadly phalange pain...
Two days ago, Li Nian, a star mother who was pregnant with three children, shared her pregnancy experience, and she is currently pregnant for more than 6 months, and she has difficulty walking because of pubic pain.
As early as after giving birth to the second child, Li Nian had the problem of pubic separation and walked very hard during the confinement.
When she was pregnant with her third child this time and was more than 5 months old, she felt that it was very difficult to walk, and at night because of pubic pain, turning over became very painful.
By the time I was 5 and a half months, it was difficult to fall asleep because of the pain.
When the pain is too much to sleep, it can be slightly relieved with the help of a maternity pillow.
After watching Li Nian's sharing, many mothers expressed empathy:
"The pain of pubic separation during pregnancy is really indescribable."
"I was pregnant with pubic pain, which caused my legs to be lame."
"The pubic bone is separated by 3 cm, I can't walk for half a year, and the bones that turn over in the early stage creak inside, which is extremely painful!"
"It's like this when I am pregnant with my second child, it hurts terribly."
"I just have a pubic separation, it really hurts, I can't turn over when I sleep at night, I can't walk during the day, it really hurts!"
"After 4 months, my pubic bone began to hurt, and I couldn't sleep well every night!"
"The second child has pubic pain, it really hurts so much that it doubts life."
Mothers who have experienced it know that the pubic bone hurts, can't sit down, can't lie down, and has to use a wheelchair to walk when it's serious.
It really can torture people to the point of collapse!
①
I didn't know until I gave birth to my second child
The pubic pain makes me want to die more than the vaginal birth!
Pubic pain, it can really make people crazy.
On social platforms, many mothers have shared their collapse experiences.
"The pubic symphysis has been separated for more than 3 months, and I suffer every day... It feels worse than a caesarean section!?"
"The pubic separation hurts so much that I can't get off the ground, and the pain in the third trimester comes too quickly."
"The pain of pubic separation, I don't want to experience it a second time in my life."
"My pubic symphysis separation hurts so much that I want to scream and cry every time I roll over, and even start to fear sleeping."
"After experiencing symphysis pubis separation that is 100 times more painful than childbirth, these ten days from "semi-disability" to getting out of bed are perhaps the most challenging in these twenty-four years. ”
"I am going to be tormented by the pain of pubic symphysis separation, and although the people around me have always encouraged me to take care of me and comfort me, I never want to experience this pain a second time."
This kind of pain has also been experienced by many celebrity mothers.
When Xie Yilin was pregnant with her second child, she had to take painkillers every day because of pubic pain.
Pubic pain broke her more than a vaginal birth.
Grimes, the girlfriend of Musk, the world's richest man, was also unable to walk because of pubic pain when she was pregnant, and crawled to the toilet and crawled back.
Grimes said: "I was 8 months pregnant, I fell as soon as I walked, I had to crawl to the toilet and crawl back. ”
It is really not easy to conceive a baby to be born, whether it is a star mother or an ordinary pregnant mother, as long as she is pregnant, she has to go through a very difficult time!
②
Why does pregnancy cause pubic pain?
Let's first understand the location of the pubic bone.
The pubic bone is located at the junction of the base of the thigh and the lower abdomen, and the normal pubic bone is connected by the pubic ligament, so it is called pubic symphysis.
Before pregnancy, there is a gap in the pubic symphysis of women, which is about 4mm-6mm, and the two bones are connected by ligaments, which is not enough for the birth of the baby.
After pregnancy, under the action of hormones, the ligaments will become loose, and the gap will increase by 2mm-3mm on the original basis to allow the baby to be delivered smoothly.
When the pubic symphysis spacing exceeds 10 mm, there is a strong pain in the pubic symphysis area.
Most pubic symphysis separation occurs in the third trimester, childbirth and postpartum, and almost all mothers will have pubic symphysis separation, but the degree of separation is not the same.
According to the degree of pubic symphysis separation, it can be divided into:
●Mild separation (10-14 mm)
●Moderate separation (14-20 mm)
●Severe separation (> 20mm)
What kind of pain is pubic separation?
●Symphysis pubis pain, aggravated by turning over or activity, combined with lower extremity pain and lumbosacral pain.
●Low back and groin pain.
●Inner thigh soreness, especially when changing postures.
●Restricted lower extremity mobility, difficulty walking, and duck-like walking.
The mother who experienced it described pubic pain like this:
Can't walk, can't get up at night, can't get up and can't lie down, walk like a penguin, and in severe cases it hurts so much that it kneels directly!
The feeling of pubic pain is like the bones are separated, and when it hurts, you kneel directly on the ground, and this pain lasts until life!
③
These types of moms
Most prone to pubic pain!
Mothers are more likely to develop or aggravate symphysis pubis separation if they have.
(1) The fetus is too large
If the baby is a macrosomia, the enlarged uterus will more easily compress the nerves in the lower extremities, and it will also compress the pelvis, putting more pressure on the pubic bone, resulting in pubic pain.
If the fetus is too large and prolongs labor, it will also damage the loose pubic symphysis ligament, which is easy to cause postpartum pubic separation pain.
(2) Twins or multiple births
Carrying two or more children is a double load on the mother's body, which is equivalent to twice the weight of the nerves and pubic area of the lower extremities, thus aggravating the impact and causing more severe pain!
(3) The posture is not right
When the pregnant mother is standing and squatting, if she uses too much force, or often bends over, it will also increase the pressure on the legs and the pubic symphysis separation!
(4) There are problems with joints before pregnancy
If a pregnant mother has joint problems before pregnancy, she is more likely to have pubic pain during pregnancy.
The second and third trimesters of pregnancy are the fastest development of the fetus, and the rapid bulge of the abdomen and the forward shift of the center of gravity will increase the burden on the legs and lumbar spine, thus causing pain!
(5) Improper force during childbirth
Improper force during childbirth leads to birth trauma, which can cause imbalance of pelvic contractility during and after childbirth, resulting in subtle misalignment of the sacroiliac joint, resulting in the symphysis pubic surface not returning to its normal position, resulting in postpartum pubic pain.
④
What to do if the pubic symphysis separates?
How to relieve this deadly pain?
Most people don't need special treatment!
Under normal circumstances, most people will slowly recover 4~12 weeks after delivery, and the pubic symphysis widening will also return to its original state 3~8 months after delivery.
Only a few people need postpartum rehabilitation to recover!
If the pubic symphysis separation is severe, such as:
(1) The pubic symphysis separation exceeds 10mm, which affects walking, and the pain in the lower back and groin area is aggravated.
(2) The pubic symphysis or sacral joint has unbearable pain, which is aggravated when moving and turning over, affecting normal activities.
If these two serious conditions occur, go directly to a regular hospital for treatment.
For mild symphysis pubic separation, conservative treatment can be used:
(1) Short-term bed rest. Try to take a lateral decubitus position, and a pillow can be placed on the knee joint of the upper thigh for support, avoiding the action of abduction of both lower limbs.
(2) Use the pelvic belt. When getting out of bed, the pelvic floor can be worn correctly to stabilize the pelvis and reduce pain in the sacroiliac joint and symphysis pubis.
(3) Physical factor therapy. When severe pain is severe, some physical therapy can be done, including magnetothermal therapy, electrical stimulation, semiconductor laser, etc., to play an anti-inflammatory and analgesic purpose.
(4) Adjust the posture of daily activities. Mothers with pubic pain can pay attention to some daily life movements and postures to relieve pain.
●Avoid excessively spreading your pelvis or legs, such as squatting or sitting on a low stool. Avoid standing on one foot, so sit on a bed or chair when wearing shoes, socks, and pants.
●Unbalanced stress on the feet can increase symphysis pubis, so avoid taking stairs or ramps as exercise.
●If you must climb stairs, you can reduce pain by taking one step at a time and holding a handrail.
●When going down the stairs, bend your knees with your feet bent, and the sore foot first goes down one step, and then the other side immediately follows; When going up the stairs, the less painful foot goes up one step and then the other foot heels.
●Strain on the symphysis pubis should be reduced. To get up or turn around on the bed, first close your feet, bend your knees, and turn sideways. Then support your body with your hands and sit on the edge of the bed. Spread your feet shoulder-width apart, place your hands on your thighs, lean forward, and stand up.
●Control your baby's weight. The larger the fetus, the more stress is placed on the nerves and pubic bones in the legs and the more painful it is.
For mothers with moderate to severe pubic symphysis separation, conservative treatment may not relieve pain, and it is recommended to seek medical attention in time! If treatment is needed, be sure to treat it under the guidance of a professional doctor!
I hope all the best for the little pregnant women, come on!
