What are the symptoms of late pregnancy?

In the blink of an eye, it's already ten months of pregnancy, and pregnant mothers have to prepare for childbirth. So what will it feel like when the baby is about to be born? We all know about redness on the face and breaking of amniotic fluid, but have you ever known about the pelvic pelvis? Also, what are the symptoms of the fetal head entering the pelvis in late pregnancy? Let's discuss it together below!

What are the symptoms of late pregnancy when the fetal head enters the pelvis?

Medically, in order to make the delivery of pregnant women more successful, the body parts of the fetus need to be pushed forward, so that the head of the fetus will enter the pelvis through the pelvic canal of the pregnant mother, which is called pelvic entry. So for new mothers, what does it feel like when the fetal head enters the pelvis?

1. Similar feeling to dysmenorrhea. In fact, this is a significant uterine contraction. As the fetus continues to move down, the pain of the pregnant mother will become more obvious. If you experience periodic pain after foetus entry, you need to go to the hospital immediately and prepare for delivery in advance.

2. Frequent and urgent urination. After entering the uterus, the uterus is further compressed by the bladder, and the bladder cannot store urine normally, which will make pregnant mothers feel the urge to urinate constantly and want to go to the toilet continuously. If you find blood in your urine or pain when urinating, you should be alert to urinary tract infection.

3. The appearance of the abdomen changes. After the fetal head enters the pelvis, the expectant mother's belly will also undergo some changes. For example, it will look more like a red-fleshed pomelo, feel hard, and the chest will no longer touch the abdomen.

4. Breathe in easily and your appetite will improve. When the baby enters the pelvis, the fetal position sinks, and the pressure of the uterus on the internal organs will be significantly relieved, especially the heart, lungs, stomach and other higher organs will gradually resume function. The pregnant mother will feel more relaxed, breathe smoothly, have a better appetite, and eat more.

5. A feeling of heaviness and pain. Pregnant mothers will feel a heaviness and pain in the lower body every now and then, as if something in the abdomen suddenly falls down, the stomach tightens, there is a little pain in the private parts, the baby seems to be slowly descending, and the abdomen will also move downward.

What to do if the fetus does not enter the pelvis

Generally, in the last month of pregnancy, the head of a normal first-born baby should enter the pregnant woman's pelvis and be connected to the pelvis without shaking. However, in a very small number of pregnant women, the fetal head does not enter the pelvis when the pregnancy is full-term, but floats on the ischial tuberosity. This is called first-born head floating. The reason for this is that some pregnant women have a narrow pelvis, and the fetal head position is different from the pelvis, resulting in the fetal head being unable to enter the pelvis. This situation may occur if the fetal head is too large, the fetal position is abnormal, or there is placenta previa, even if the pregnant woman's pelvis is normal. Fetal hydrocephalus or polyhydramnios can also cause it. However, some first-time mothers do not have the above reasons and the fetal head still does not enter the pelvis. Pregnant women who have floating head during their first delivery do not need to worry. If the pregnant woman's pelvis and fetal condition are normal, she should cooperate closely with the doctor. After delivery, due to the squeezing of uterine contractions, the fetal head will also deform into the pelvis, so that a complete vaginal delivery can still be achieved. If examination finds that the floating head is caused by uncorrectable physiological factors, you can prepare for surgical delivery. If a pregnant woman with a floating head develops placental abruption and amniotic fluid is discharged, she should stay in bed with her buttocks raised and be sent to the hospital immediately. Because this kind of situation is very likely to cause umbilical cord prolapse, causing accidents to the fetus.
