I am 39 weeks pregnant, you must know these labor signs
1. Changes during the tocolysis period
As pregnancy progresses, pregnant women often experience \”fetal safety period\”. This period is characterized by fetal movements that decrease or become irregular, pregnant women feel particularly tired and sleepy, and may experience mild abdominal pain and nausea and vomiting. These are all signs that pregnant women are about to enter the labor stage. During this period, pregnant women should pay special attention to their physical condition, try to avoid fatigue and stress, and maintain adequate sleep and moderate exercise.
In addition, another feature of the tocolysis period is that the cervix will slowly become relaxed and softened in order to prepare for childbirth. Pregnant women should seek medical attention immediately if they feel unusual abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding at this time.
2. Symptoms before delivery
If a pregnant woman has entered labor, some specific symptoms will also appear. The most obvious of these is labor pain. Labor pains are characterized by regular contractions and relaxations, which may be mild at first but gradually intensify. In addition, there are other symptoms in the early stages of delivery, such as abdominal bloating, nausea, frequent urination, etc.
In addition, many pregnant women experience cervical \”development\” before giving birth, which is when the cervix gradually softens, shortens, and opens. This symptom usually begins several weeks before labor pains begin.
3. Knees and belly method
Putting your knees on your belly is a commonly used birth control method. In the early stages of delivery, pregnant women can lie on the bed, kneel on the bed, hold the edge of the bed with both hands, and keep the body as close to the edge of the bed as possible. This can help the fetus pass through the birth canal more easily and reduce the pain and fatigue of pregnant women. In addition, this position can also increase the space in the pelvic cavity, making it easier for the fetus to pass through the pelvis.
4. Special signals during childbirth
When a pregnant woman enters the actual labor stage, some special signals will also appear. The most obvious of these is water breaking. Pregnant women may feel a stream of fluid coming out of the vagina at this time, which is caused by the rupture of the amniotic fluid. In addition, childbirth is often accompanied by symptoms such as pain, bleeding, and abdominal muscle tension.
In addition, there is another signal during childbirth that the date after the last menstrual period has reached or exceeded the expected date of delivery. At this time, pregnant women should go to the hospital in time to wait for delivery to prevent fetal problems caused by too long delivery period.
Summary
Childbirth is an arduous task for pregnant women and fetuses. Therefore, pregnant women should take good care of their bodies during pregnancy, paying special attention to various signals in the early stages of labor and during labor. Good pregnancy care and delivery care can ensure the health of pregnant women and babies, and can reduce the pain and suffering during childbirth.
