What to do with abdominal pain in late pregnancy


Empowering you to live your best life.
If the third trimester of pregnancy shows abdominal pain, it is recommended to go to the hospital for timely examination. First of all, obstetric examination should be done to detect fetal heart rate, measure uterine high abdominal circumference, observe uterine contractions, and observe abdominal tension. If abdominal tension is relatively large, abdominal pain is persistent, and it is necessary to be alert to the possibility of placental abruption. It is recommended to do color Doppler examination in time to make a clear diagnosis. If color Doppler examination indicates the possibility of placental abruption, it is recommended to actively terminate pregnancy. If the abdominal pain is paroxysmal after the above examination, it is considered to be a manifestation of uterine contractions. Further treatment is decided according to the size of the gestational age. If the pregnancy is before 34 weeks, aggressive tocolytic treatment should be given. If the pregnancy is after 34 weeks, no tocolytic treatment is required. If the fetal lung is estimated to be immature, treatment to promote lung maturation may be given. Therefore, no matter what stage of pregnancy, if you show abdominal pain or abnormal vaginal bleeding, or there are other phenomena of running water, you should go to the hospital in time. Especially if you feel that there are fetal movement changes, such as frequent fetal movement or reduced fetal movement, fetal movement disappears, there may be the possibility of fetal distress, you must go to the hospital in time to review.
