How long will it take to give birth at 33 weeks of pregnancy

For pregnant women, what they hope most is to expect the baby to grow quickly and to give birth to a cute, healthy and happy baby. It’s just that every pregnant woman’s physical constitution is different, so the expected date of delivery will also be different. The 33rd week of pregnancy is the late stage of pregnancy, when the baby's physical development is not yet complete. So if a pregnant woman is 33 weeks pregnant, how long will it take for her to give birth?

How long will it take to give birth at 33 weeks of pregnancy

Every pregnant woman is different. If it is a normal birth, the baby will go into labor when it is supposed to. Generally, the baby is full-term at 37 weeks, and the baby can go into labor at any time. Some babies may not go into labor until 42 weeks, which is all normal.

What should you pay attention to during the 33rd week of pregnancy?

1. Prevent premature birth. If the baby stays in the womb for one more day, his brain and other organs will develop more fully, and he can store more subcutaneous fat and adapt to the outside world better. Therefore, expectant mothers must get more rest, avoid overwork, prevent the floor from slipping at home, wear shoes with straps, and avoid going out in rainy or snowy weather.

2. Be alert to premature rupture of membranes. The rupture of membranes and the leakage of amniotic fluid before regular uterine contractions occur is called premature rupture of membranes. This situation often occurs in the late pregnancy. The expectant mother suddenly feels thin fluid flowing out of the vagina, like urination. This situation may occasionally be accompanied by umbilical cord prolapse (mainly seen in fetal breech presentation or high floating fetal head) or uterine infection. If this happens, the patient needs to be sent to the hospital immediately. Premature rupture of membranes carries many risks.

3. Prepare for breastfeeding. Sometimes the breasts will secrete colostrum in the late pregnancy. If you decide to breastfeed after the baby is born, you can choose a well-fitting nursing bra and disposable breast pads according to your needs.

The above is some content about how long it will take to give birth after 33 weeks of pregnancy.

I hope this helps you all. It is normal for pregnant women to have mood swings during this period, so they should learn to restrain themselves, adjust their attitude, and welcome the arrival of the baby with a normal mind.
