Stomach pain caused by fetal movement
The 8th month of pregnancy is one of the periods that mothers are very concerned about because they will soon enter the labor stage. At this stage, bouts of stomach pain may be caused by fetal movements. The fetus is very active in the womb. It will kick, kick, roll, etc. constantly. These activities will cause some discomfort to the mother, especially when the fetus\’ feet or hands touch the mother\’s belly, which will directly stimulate the uterine muscles and cause the mother to feel pain. It is recommended that mothers do more relaxing activities when the fetus is moving, such as walking or changing positions to give the fetus more space to reduce pain.
Stomach pain caused by too much or too little amniotic fluid
During the 8th month of pregnancy, if the mother feels bursts of abdominal pain and other uncomfortable symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, low back pain, etc., it may be caused by too much or too little amniotic fluid. Amniotic fluid is the environment that babies need during their growth in the womb. If there is too much or too little amniotic fluid, it will have an adverse effect on the baby\’s growth and development. If the mother suspects that her stomach pain is caused by amniotic fluid problems, she should go to the hospital for examination in time and deal with it according to the doctor\’s advice.
Stomach pain caused by contractions
When you are 8 months pregnant, hormone levels in mothers begin to gradually increase, and the muscles of the uterus begin to become more sensitive. During this stage, contractions become a very common phenomenon. When the uterine muscles contract and tighten, it can cause stomach pain in the mother. If these contractions are very frequent or accompanied by uncomfortable symptoms, you need to go to the hospital for examination in time to ensure the safety of mother and child.

For example, ectopic pregnancy, placental abruption, uterine fibroids, gastrointestinal problems, etc. Therefore, if a mother suspects that her stomach pain is not only caused by fetal movement, uterine contractions and other factors, she must go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis in time, and then handle and treat according to the doctor\’s advice.
