The most anticipated moment for mothers who are pregnant for ten months should be when they unload their 'heavy responsibilities'. During the entire pregnancy, the mother's body undergoes a series of physiological changes. What are the signs of a pregnant woman giving birth? I believe many expectant mothers want to know these signs in order to prepare themselves mentally in advance. Let's follow the editor below to learn more.
What are the signs when pregnant women are about to give birth
1. Uterine fundus descent: About two weeks before labor, primiparous women will experience a descent of the uterine fundus, which will make their upper abdomen feel relaxed, breathing become more comfortable than before, and the discomfort of stomach pressure is reduced. Their appetite will also increase accordingly.
2. There is a feeling of compression in the lower abdomen: due to descent, the part that is about to be exposed during childbirth has already descended to the entrance of the pelvis, resulting in lower abdominal distension and compression of the bladder. At this point, you may feel lower back pain and leg pain, difficulty walking, and frequent urination.
3. Seeing red: In the last few weeks of pregnancy, there is an increase in cervical secretions and a noticeable increase in vaginal discharge. Due to the separation of the uterine membrane from the uterine wall, there is a small amount of bleeding. This type of bleeding mixed with uterine mucus plugs and discharged from the vagina is called redness. Seeing red is a reliable sign that childbirth is about to begin. If the amount of bleeding is greater than usual, it should be considered whether there are any abnormal conditions, possibly placental abruption, and immediate medical examination is needed.
4. Regular abdominal pain: usually lasting for 30 seconds with intervals of 10 minutes. In the future, the duration of pain gradually increases and the interval decreases, which is called regular labor pains.
Precautions for pregnant women when they are about to give birth
When producing quickly, it is important to rest more and engage in appropriate exercise to aid in production. At this time, be especially careful not to fall, try to have family by your side as much as possible, and do not go out alone.
The above is the relevant information compiled by the editor on the signs of pregnant women when they are about to give birth. I hope it can be helpful to everyone. Pregnant women should pay attention to moderate exercise and monitor physical changes before giving birth. In addition, it is necessary to prepare the baby's clothes, bottles, and other items, as well as the clothes that the pregnant woman needs to change after giving birth, in case of emergencies and to be prepared for childbirth at all times.
