How does pregnant leg become soft to return a responsibility?

summary

During pregnancy, due to changes in hormone levels in the body, and the enlarged uterus may compress the pelvic and lower limb nerves, so some lower limb soreness, discomfort, etc., are normal, but if the legs are soft, is it normal? So, some patients have asked what's wrong with pregnant legs softening?, Today I'd like to share this with you.

How does pregnant leg become soft to return a responsibility?

First: when a woman is pregnant, her body is always ready for delivery. Our pelvis is not a complete bone, but a ligament connecting the sacrum, tailbone and left and right hips. Under normal circumstances, in order to maintain the stability of the pelvis, these ligaments are relatively tough. But when a woman is pregnant, the full-term baby is delivered through the vagina. Because the fetal head is relatively large, in order to give birth smoothly, our body will loosen these ligaments and make the pelvis elastic, which is more conducive to the delivery of the fetus.

Second: the reason for the relaxation of these ligaments is the combined effect of a variety of hormone changes after pregnancy. However, these hormones do not only target pelvic ligaments, but also relax other ligaments in the body. This is also the main reason why some women have low back and leg pain, even finger and wrist pain after pregnancy.

Third: there are a small number of pregnant women, due to severe ligament relaxation, and even separation of the pubic symphysis, leading to severe pain, and even affect walking. But most of the simple ligament relaxation during pregnancy will improve itself after delivery.
