Pregnant woman with pain in buttocks and waist

It is very inconvenient for a pregnant woman with a big belly to move around, and if she experiences any discomfort at this time, it will seriously affect her mood and physical health. Every pregnant woman should pay attention to any abnormal reactions in her body, because some abnormal reactions may be closely related to the health of the baby. So what is going on when a pregnant woman feels pain above her buttocks and below her waist?

Why does a pregnant woman feel pain above her buttocks and below her waist?

Pregnant women are prone to pain next to their buttocks during pregnancy. This is because the volume of the pelvic ring increases with gestational age, so pain symptoms are prone to occur. This is a normal phenomenon and generally does not require special treatment. Lying on the left side helps relieve pain. If the symptoms persist for a long time or the pain is severe, it is recommended to see a doctor. You should also check the mother and child regularly to ensure their health.

Massage the waist and back: Place the base of your palms or the palms of your fists on the muscles on both sides of the spine on the expectant mother's back, and do brisk, gentle circular movements. Be careful to press the muscles and apply a certain amount of pressure, and do not rub the skin. After massaging a fixed point for dozens of seconds, move your hand down one palm width, and repeat this operation until you massage above the buttocks.

1. Rub the Dazhui point: Place your palm on the Dazhui point (the depression below the most protruding spine between the cervical and thoracic vertebrae when the patient lowers his head) and rub it repeatedly (alternate between the left and right hands) 20-30 times.

2. Press the back shu points: Place the tips of your thumbs on the Dazhui point (the depression below the most protruding part of the spine between the cervical and thoracic vertebrae when you lower your head), one finger width away from the left and right sides. Press with a certain force and hold for a few seconds. Move down about one centimeter and press again, and continue this process until you reach above the buttocks. If you encounter areas that are sensitive to pain, you can extend the pressing time appropriately. Pain points may indicate that there may be some discomfort in the body, which can be partially relieved by pressing.
