What does fetal movement feel like after entering the pelvis?

When the fetal head enters the pelvis, it means that the baby is about to be born. As the due date approaches, pregnant mothers may become more and more anxious. Pregnant mothers at this moment must adjust their mentality and not let their mentality become more and more negative, which will affect the baby in their belly. In addition, there is no need to cause postpartum depression due to a bad mentality. So, what are the fetal movements after the fetal head enters the pelvis?

What does it feel like when the fetal head enters the pelvis?

1. Changes in the shape of the abdomen Pregnant mothers will feel that the position of the baby is lowering, and the shape of the abdomen is like a watermelon turning into a red grapefruit!

2. After the fetal head enters the pelvis, it will be pressed on the private parts and sacrum of the pregnant mother, and you may feel a sense of heaviness and pain in the lower body.

3. Fetal movement decreases. The baby's fetal movement will be relatively lower than before. However, during the period when the baby's fetal movement is more frequent, the frequency of fetal movement should be more than 3 times per hour. If it is less than 3 times/hour, add 1 hour. It is enough if the baby moves 6 times in 2 hours. If it is lower than this standard, it is a reminder that there may be fetal intrauterine hypoxia, and the doctor should do further examination to help distinguish. But there is no need to be too anxious and count the fetal movements at any time, because the baby may sometimes sleep longer, or the fetal movements are not very active. For example, the fetal movements are not obvious in the morning, you can look at the noon time. If the movements are normal at noon, there is no need to worry.

4. Frequent urination and urgency. When the fetus's head is in the pelvis, the bladder will be compressed, which generally causes a more significant increase in frequent urination.

5. Breathing becomes easier and appetite improves. As the baby grows smaller, the pressure of the uterus on the internal organs will be significantly relieved, especially the higher organs such as the heart, lungs, and stomach will gradually recover their functions. The pregnant mother will feel more relaxed, breathing will be smoother, appetite will improve, and she will eat more. However, be sure to control your lips, as many pregnant women gain a lot of weight in the last few weeks of pregnancy.

What are the fetal movements after the fetal head enters the pelvis?

The baby in the belly will be surrounded by the amniotic fluid and fetal membrane of the pregnant woman, waiting for the opportunity with its head down, buttocks up, and the whole body curled up. When the fetal head enters the pelvis, many pregnant women always feel a tightness and a heavy pain in the abdomen, and feel that the baby in the belly has descended, so they will rush to the hospital. In fact, this phenomenon is not a real sign of labor. The main differences are that first, the duration of uterine contraction is relatively short, often less than 30 seconds; secondly, the uterine contraction is irregular and the force is relatively weak. Therefore, it is often called "false labor".

But in any case, the entry into the plate indicates that the pregnant woman is about to give birth. Pregnant women can make preparations in all aspects according to this signal to welcome the arrival of the baby. The fetal head enters the pelvis during the onset of full labor pains at 36 weeks of pregnancy. Generally, the first baby may enter the uterus earlier. Even though the baby has entered the pelvis, it does not mean that there will be pain immediately. Sometimes it may take several weeks before there will be pain. Sometimes, even if the child does not enter the pelvis, there is no need to worry, because the entry can be completed after the pain. If it is the second pregnancy, the baby usually enters the pelvis very late when the pain starts.
