These are all manifestations of round ligament pulling pain, and the pain often appears in the lower abdomen (one or both sides), at the hip joint and in the groin area (the oblique depression at the root of the thigh), and the pain is mostly sharp, strong and short-lasting (usually lasting a few minutes), which is the kind of “jerking pain” described by pregnant mothers. “The pain is strong and short-lasting (usually lasts for a few minutes). 1.Why does round ligament pulling pain occur? Round ligament pulling pain is a normal expression of the body’s adaptation to the state of pregnancy. As the days pass, the baby grows slowly, your growing belly makes your back ache, and the growing uterus makes the uterine ligaments in the pelvic cavity feel strained and strained. In order to keep the uterus in a neutral forward position in the pelvis, the four major uterine ligaments pull the uterus from front to back and keep it firmly fixed in the pelvis. The round ligament, which connects the anterior wall of the uterus to the groin and the front of the labia majora, is the main ligament that keeps the uterus in an anteriorly inclined position. As the uterus grows, the pulling force load gradually increases and the ligament adaptively lengthens, and when you move, such as sitting and suddenly standing up, excessive twisting of the pelvic area, or laughing. When coughing abdominal pressure increases, etc., the round ligament may be stretched by external forces, thus giving you a painful sensation. 2.How to prevent or relieve the pain?

A: Preterm labor is defined as delivery between 28 weeks and less than 37 weeks of gestation. The main clinical manifestation of preterm labor is uterine contraction, that is, the pregnant mother will feel abdominal pain, initially irregular contractions, often accompanied by a little vaginal bleeding or bloody discharge, later can develop into regular contractions (20 minutes ≥ 4 times, or 60 minutes ≥ 8 times), the process is similar to full-term labor, premature rupture of fetal membranes more than full-term labor. Domestic preterm birth accounts for 5%-15% of all deliveries, and about ⅔ of infants who die within 1 year of birth are preterm. With the continuous progress in the treatment and monitoring of preterm infants, their survival rate has improved significantly. The disability rate has decreased, and some countries have defined the lower limit of preterm birth time as 24 weeks or 20 weeks of gestation, etc. Active prevention of preterm birth is one of the important measures to reduce perinatal mortality: 1. regular prenatal checkups, accept the advice of the obstetrician on your pregnancy hygiene, actively treat urinary tract and reproductive tract infections, abstain from sex in late pregnancy to avoid premature rupture of fetal membranes; if you have high-risk factors for preterm birth, it is recommended that you have regular risk assessment and cooperate with treatment in time; 2. active treatment of pregnancy complications and prevention of complications to If you have cervical insufficiency, it is recommended that you undergo cervical cerclage at 14 to 18 weeks of gestation.
