POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month2 months agoA. At 8 months pregnant, it's common to feel pain due to your growing baby, pressure on muscles and joints, and body changes. You may experience backache, pelvic pressure, leg cramps, or Braxton Hicks contractions (mild, irregular tightening). To ease the pain:
Rest when needed and avoid standing too long. Use pillows to support your belly and back while sleeping. Stay hydrated and take warm (not hot) showers or apply a warm compress. Practice gentle stretches or prenatal yoga if approved by your doctor. Wear a maternity support belt if pain is due to belly heaviness.
However, if the pain is sharp, persistent, or comes with bleeding, leaking fluid, fever, or decreased baby movement, contact your doctor immediately—it could be a sign of labor or a complication. Always listen to your body and consult your healthcare provider for any concerns.
