What should you pay attention to during the 30th week of pregnancy?

As delivery approaches, many pregnant women become more and more nervous. Beforehand, many friends will learn about the precautions during childbirth. At 30 weeks of pregnancy, many people's bellies will be quite big, and it will look painful just by looking at them. But we can't be careless at this time. So, what should you pay attention to during the 30th week of pregnancy?

You are 30 weeks pregnant. You have gained about 7.6kg and your uterus is about 30cm high. The muscles in your abdomen have stretched and relaxed. Your belly is like a big watermelon and it is difficult to see your feet. You will feel your body getting heavier and heavier, and it will become more and more difficult to move. Even bending down, which is a simple action under normal circumstances, will become a big task.

Now you have difficulty moving, breathing, and stomach discomfort. Over the next few weeks, as the baby's head begins to descend into the pelvis, the discomfort will gradually ease.

1. Ensure the nutritional needs of the fetus: The nutritional needs of the little guy reach their peak at this time, and his bones and muscles are becoming more mature. You need to consume plenty of protein, vitamin C, iron and calcium. Drink more milk, lean meat and various vegetables. Sesame is rich in iron and can be fried or added to dishes. In addition to food supplements, various nutritional supplements prescribed by doctors should also be taken on time!

2. Regular prenatal check-ups: As the time of delivery gets closer, prenatal check-ups should be done more frequently. During this period, you will need to have a prenatal check-up every two weeks, so don't think it's too troublesome. Checkups during this period are very important for the birth of your baby. If your fetal position is abnormal, you can correct it under the guidance of a doctor. In addition, prenatal examinations are also an important guarantee for preventing premature birth and preeclampsia.

3. Avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time: Your uterus is now filled with the baby. The enlarged uterus will compress the inferior vena cava, leading to varicose veins in the lower limbs. Standing or sitting for long periods of time will aggravate this condition and cause edema in the lower body, such as the legs and perineum of the abdomen. Therefore, when you enter the late stage of pregnancy, you should maintain exercise habits and avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time. When you sleep at night, put an extra pillow under your feet to help blood circulation.

4. Painless uterine contractions occur: In the late pregnancy, you may feel your stomach tightening and hardening, but there is no pain and the time of occurrence is irregular. This is painless uterine contractions. This is the uterine muscle training before delivery! The baby is also moving towards the cervix, stimulating uterine contraction. If you have pain during contractions and they become more frequent, it means you are about to give birth, so go to the hospital immediately!

Pregnant women who are 30 weeks pregnant must pay special attention to the above-mentioned issues. In addition, if you find any abnormal condition in your body at this time, it is recommended that you actively seek help from doctors. At this time, the husband should also be prepared at all times.
