Women who work hard to conceive for ten months are waiting for one day to give birth. So we all know that women often have some birth signals before giving birth to inform themselves that a little angel is about to come and prepare for work. However, they may also frequently make mistakes due to psychological effects. So, what are the specific birth signals at 38 weeks of pregnancy?
What are the signs of female labor
1. Breaking water: A stream of water emerges from the vagina, like urine, and slowly flows out uncontrollably. Can be determined through litmus paper testing or vaginal examination; Once the water breaks, expectant mothers can use clean pads and seek medical attention immediately.
2. True labor pain: It is a regular uterine contraction that cannot be relieved by rest or walking, and the pain is mainly concentrated in the back and lower abdomen.
3. Feeling of defecation: Uterine contractions can cause the fetal head to compress the mother's rectum, resulting in a strong sensation of defecation. At this time, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination and not use the toilet forcefully, otherwise the baby may be delivered to the toilet.
4. Other dangerous symptoms include abnormal massive bleeding, reduced or stopped fetal movement, severe abdominal pain, persistent headaches, blurred vision, significantly reduced urine output, facial and hand swelling. These conditions may endanger the safety of the mother and fetus and require immediate hospitalization or termination of pregnancy. They should not be treated as general symptoms to avoid delaying treatment.
As the child grows up day by day, expectant mothers have different experiences every day. In addition to the above signs of labor, expectant mothers also need to be particularly concerned about uterine contractions, vaginal bleeding, and water leakage in the early stages of pregnancy, because these are reminders of the urgent need to pay attention to the safety of the child. As expectant mothers, they are the closest and most familiar with their child, so they should pay full attention to any abnormal physical phenomena that occur.
