Two weeks before and after the expected date of birth are normal. So before this date is approaching, mothers in the third trimester must do a good job of prenatal examination and get ready for war.
When you are in labor, it means that you and your husband love each other - a lovely baby is about to be born. At this time, your mood is very different from that of pregnancy, so please be prepared physically and psychologically.
1. Know what your baby looks like
When a baby is born, his head is first born near the uterine orifice. With the arrival of term, the baby will gradually lower his head to his mother's pelvis with his own strength.
When the fetus is about to leave the mother's body, the maternal birth canal will become very soft.
2. The uterine orifice will gradually open
As the birth canal becomes soft, the uterine orifice becomes soft and gradually opens, and the placenta gradually increases in width.
Once entering the labor period, because the baby's head has dropped to the pelvis, the pregnant woman will feel that her pubic bone (below the belly) will protrude outward. If you press your bladder, you will increase the number of times to go to the bathroom. As you press the nerves in the pelvis, you will feel pain in your heels. As the vagina and uterus become soft, white secretions also increase.
When the number of fetal movements in the uterus decreases (fetal movements decrease), the pregnant woman has no pain. But soon, 2 to 3 weeks before delivery, there will be a feeling of tightness and pain. Tight pain occurs 3 to 4 times a day. This kind of pain is often called "prodromal labor". Such prodromal pains, if there is a sense of oppression in the waist, it is often imminent labor.
The degree of symptoms varies from person to person, depending on the constitution of the pregnant woman and the condition of the fetus. Therefore, even professional doctors are difficult to estimate.
What is term
The so-called "term period" refers to the period from the 37th week to the 42nd week of pregnancy. Premature birth is called when the fetus is born before 37 weeks. At this time, the baby's physical function is not fully developed, and can not maintain a good stable state from the mother's birth.
The fetus born after 42 weeks is called overproduction.
The fetus born at term generally weighs about 2.5 kg and is about 48 cm long. His internal organs and nervous system are well developed. Once born, he will breathe autonomously and take the initiative to suck his mother's nipples, which can show that the baby is very healthy.
What is the due date
The algorithm for the expected date of birth is: add 9 or subtract 3 from the number of months of the last menstrual period, and add 7 to the number of days. If the lunar calendar is used for calculation, the calculation method of month is the same, and the day is changed to add 15. If the date of the last menstrual period is unclear, the expected date of delivery can be roughly estimated according to the height of the fundus of the uterus. The expected date of birth does not mean that the baby will be born on this date, but about the time. It is normal to be born within 2 weeks before and after the expected date of birth.
After calculating their due date of birth, they should be mentally prepared for changes in each stage of their normal delivery period. Pregnant women can make a "schedule of normal delivery period", on which they can draw what they should pay attention to in which week and day, what changes will happen to their treasures and their bodies these days, what "I" should do, and so on. There are also many careful mothers who record their pregnancy process in the form of diary. When they are free, they will have a sense of achievement.
Proper physical exercise
Many diseases and troubles are caused by the fact that pregnant women do not often exercise. Preterm delivery and contraction of labor are also irrelevant to inactivity, leading to problems such as macrosomia, dystocia, pregnancy and diabetes. It also means "uterine fibroids", but it has nothing to do with not exercising. If you do not exercise, you may gain too much weight. Most of these diseases occur in pregnant women who like to be quiet. Therefore, a quiet mother to be should take more exercise during pregnancy, participate in sports activities appropriately, let her body move, relieve her pressure and relax at the same time.
Eliminate tension before labor
With the onset of the labor pains, pregnant women will feel nervous, afraid and uneasy. In order to eliminate such feelings, we should be familiar with and understand the delivery process before delivery, and have some psychological preparation for what we will experience. For example, we can chat with experienced mothers of our predecessors, get inspiration from their experience, and watch delivery videos. In order to distract their nervous attention, pregnant women can also read books with pictures, play slow music and focus on their hobbies. There are also many expectant mothers who go to take photos of their own photos during pregnancy. This way can not only ease the tension, but also communicate with their babies.
The key to prevent mental strain before labor is that pregnant women should have a correct understanding of labor and eliminate the word "fear" in their hearts.
First of all, it should be clear that childbirth is a natural physiological phenomenon that every healthy woman of childbearing age can fully bear. When giving birth, the uterus will contract in bursts, and the mother will feel bursts of abdominal pain and discomfort. But most of the pain is not so serious, but due to mental tension and fear of childbirth, the pain is strengthened. If you take it calmly from the beginning of childbirth and actively stabilize your emotions, the pain will not be so serious.
Secondly, pregnant and lying in women should believe in the current medical technology, and the safety of delivery has been greatly improved. In hospital delivery, the risk of maternal life is close to zero. In case of natural birth difficulties, the doctor will take measures immediately when there is danger. At present, the success rate of the operation is close to 100%. Therefore, it is unnecessary for a woman to have no reason to worry, so she should give birth with confidence.
Finally, it is necessary for the pregnant women to eliminate their nervousness and their families to help and prepare for the delivery. If the prenatal preparation is not sufficient, the lying in women will enter the hospital in a panic, which will easily cause mental tension and fear. On the contrary, if the prenatal preparation is done carefully and carefully, and the pregnant women enter the hospital in a leisurely manner, it is very beneficial to stabilize the mood at the time of labor and prevent mental strain.
