Precautions for secretions before delivery

The secretions from a woman's private parts are generally closely related to her physical health. The state and color changes of the secretions also indicate that changes are also taking place in the woman's body. Pregnancy is a special stage in a woman's life, especially in the late stages of pregnancy. The appearance of secretions before delivery indicates many problems. So what kind of secretions should pregnant women and their family members and friends pay attention to? How should pregnant women deal with such situations?

Under normal circumstances, prenatal secretions will not be too much, and are generally colorless and white. If brown, black or abnormally colored leucorrhea occurs, accompanied by itching, pain, etc., you need to consider the possibility of inflammatory infection, and regular prenatal checkups are recommended. It is very common to have increased vaginal discharge before delivery, but pregnant women should not worry too much and should also pay attention to whether it is a precursor to delivery.

A small amount of vaginal bleeding or bloody discharge, commonly known as "red show," generally means delivery within 48 hours. You can prepare some personal belongings to go to the hospital to wait for delivery. If the amount of bleeding is small, you can observe at home and go to the hospital when you have regular uterine contractions.

If a large amount of colorless and odorless watery liquid flows out of the vagina, this is called "water breaking". You need to go to the hospital immediately. Pregnant women should not panic at this time. It is best to lie flat to prevent the umbilical cord from prolapse and blocking the cervix. When taking pregnant women to the hospital, family members should try to reduce bumps as much as possible to prevent a large amount of amniotic fluid from leaking out.

Regular uterine contractions are also a precursor to childbirth. At this time, the time of the first uterine contraction should be accurately recorded, and the time of occurrence and end of each subsequent contraction should be recorded. When the contractions become regular and the intervals between two contractions become shorter and shorter, from once every 10 minutes, each lasting about half a minute, to 2 to 3 contractions every 10 minutes, lasting more than half a minute, and the intensity of the contractions increases, you should be sent to the hospital to give birth. Don't forget to bring detailed records of the contractions for your doctor's reference.

From the above we can know that if the secretions of a parturient are colorless and odorless before delivery, then there is no need to worry too much. If the secretions change color, it is very likely that the woman is infected with a gynecological disease, so at this time you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid causing bad conditions to the fetus. Once there is too much secretion, you should pay attention to whether the amniotic fluid has broken. At this time, you must go to the hospital in time to prepare to welcome the new life.
