Physical signs of pregnant women before giving birth
As a pregnant woman approaches her due date, some physical signs will begin to appear. After these signs appear, pregnant women need to be ready for the arrival of their baby. Here are a few common physical signs.
1. Pregnant women will feel labor pains
Some time before giving birth, pregnant women will begin to feel labor pains. Labor pains will occur from time to time, become more frequent, last longer, and become more painful. This labor pain is caused by uterine contractions to help the fetus pass smoothly through the birth canal. When pregnant women feel labor pains, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination to determine the degree of uterine opening.
2. Pregnant women have prepartum hemorrhage
Some pregnant women will experience prepartum bleeding before delivery. This is usually caused by changes in the position of the fetus, dilation of the cervix and rupture of membranes. Bleeding before delivery is usually dark red or brown in color and light in amount. If there is obvious bright red bleeding, pain or no movement of the fetus, you need to see a doctor immediately.
3. The head of the fetus of a pregnant woman will move downward
Before delivery, the head of the fetus of a pregnant woman will slowly move downward in preparation for the upcoming birth. When the fetus\’s head moves into the pelvic cavity, pregnant women usually feel tighter pressure, which means labor has begun.
4. Pregnant women have a feeling of drainage
Before giving birth, pregnant women may experience a feeling of drainage, which is caused by the rupture of the amniotic fluid. Pregnant women check their underwear to see if any fluid is leaking out. If the amniotic fluid ruptures, it is recommended to go to the hospital immediately. If the fetus excretes gastrointestinal contents and causes white or yellow-green secretions, you also need to seek medical attention in time.
Summary
Understanding these pre-labor signs can help pregnant women cope better with labor. When these signs appear, pregnant women need to always pay attention to their body changes and seek medical treatment in time to ensure the safety of their babies. Doctors can provide professional delivery advice to pregnant women to prepare for the upcoming birth.
