When does a pregnant woman need to be hospitalized for delivery? (Picture source: Data map)
During pregnancy, pregnant women and their families really need to be more vigilant and do a good job of self-monitoring. The safe self-monitoring of the fetus in utero can be completed by counting fetal movements, that is, the number of fetal movements in one hour each in the morning, noon, and evening, multiplied by 4, is 12 hours of fetal movement. If the fetal movement exceeds 30 times within 12 hours and the fetal movement exceeds 5 times per hour, it indicates that the fetus is in good condition. If the fetal movement is less than 20 times in 12 hours and less than 3 times per hour, the fetus may be hypoxic.
When the following symptoms appear, it means that a pregnant woman may give birth at any time:
(1) Regular uterine contractions, about once every 10 minutes.
(2) Increased leucorrhea.
(3) See red, leucorrhea with blood.
(4) Water breaks.
Fetal movements may decrease slightly during labor but still be >30 in 12 hours.
So, under what circumstances should one be admitted to hospital urgently?
(1) Water breaks: Let the pregnant woman lie down, minimize standing, and call a car to the hospital immediately.
(2) Regular uterine contractions, once every 1015 minutes, gradually accelerating.
(3) Abnormal abdominal pain and bleeding. There is persistent pain in the abdomen and vaginal bleeding like menstruation.
