Nine Prenatal Signs of Pregnant Women Predict Delivery

When the pregnancy reaches about 38 weeks, pregnant women may give birth at any time. Expectant mothers can judge whether they are about to give birth according to the following points.

pyuria

Due to the descending pressure of fetal head, there is less urine in bladder. You can't hold your breath if you pee a little, and you have to go to the bathroom. This is not a urinary system disease, but one of the signs of imminent delivery.

Decreased number of fetal movements

Fetal movement is less than before, because the fetal head has entered the pelvis, the position is relatively fixed, and the fetal movement is weakened. Every pregnant woman feels different about fetal movement, but fetal movement will never suddenly disappear. If you are not sure whether it is abnormal, you should go to the hospital for examination.

Increased vaginal discharge

In preparation for delivery, the cervix will become soft and loose, so the secretion will increase. These secretions are transparent or white and sticky.

Symptoms of upper abdominal compression were relieved.

Symptoms such as abdominal distension, acid regurgitation, heartburn and loss of appetite in pregnant women are obviously alleviated or disappeared, and the situation of poor breathing is improved, and the upper abdomen will feel relaxed. This is because the fetal head enters the basin and the fetus descends to the pelvis, which reduces the pressure on the upper abdomen.

The kidneys feel heavy pressure.

Because of the innervation in the uterus, the kidney area (slightly above the waist and back) has a vague and heavy feeling of oppression.

lumbago

Low back pain, swelling and spasm of thigh root, phalangeal pain and difficulty in walking are the symptoms manifested by the compression of pelvic nerve by the descent of fetal head.

Normal uterine contraction

Different from the usual irregular uterine contractions, the parturient will have regular uterine contractions every 10~ 15 minutes 1 time, lasting for tens of seconds each time. Even if you rest in bed, the contractions will not disappear, and the interval will be shortened gradually, the duration will be prolonged gradually, and the intensity of contractions will continue to increase. At this time, you should go to the hospital immediately for labor.

(of a woman about to give birth) Her amniotic fluid broke.

Most parturients break the membrane after labor, and only a few parturients break the membrane before labor, which is called "breaking the water early". Some pregnant women will give birth soon after breaking water, while others will wait for a while. In either case, once the water breaks prematurely, you should immediately be sent to the hospital on your back for labor.

Vaginal bloody secretion

Commonly known as "seeing red", it is a reliable sign that childbirth is about to begin. This is a small amount of blood discharged through the vagina due to the separation of the fetal membrane from the uterine wall near the internal opening of the cervix. Seeing red often appears 24~48 hours before delivery. You should go to the hospital immediately to give birth. Generally, the amount of red blood is less than the usual menstrual flow. If the menstrual flow is abnormal, think of the possibility of bleeding in the third trimester such as placenta previa and go to the hospital in time.
