The pain in the thigh root is the pelvic floor.

After nearly ten months of hard work, the moment of delivery finally arrives. Since many of them are new mothers, they don’t know what the signs of delivery are. Some people say that they always have pain in their thighs. So, does pain in the thighs mean that the baby is entering the pelvis? Pain in the thighs is an early sign of entering the pelvis. At this time, you should prepare your delivery bag, be ready to go to the hospital for delivery at any time, adjust your mentality and emotions, and don't be too anxious or nervous.

In the late pregnancy, the fetus needs to prepare to enter the delivery state. The baby will automatically move towards the pelvis, causing the pubic bone to split. This split will cause the mother's skin to be torn, and the pain will be transmitted to the nerves, reminding the expectant mother that the baby is about to be born. When pregnant mothers experience pain in the groin, they should pay attention to choosing a suitable posture to rest and relax themselves in appropriate ways, such as reading or listening to music.

What are the signs before the fetus enters the pelvis?

Medically, in order to make delivery smoother, the fetus's body position needs to be consolidated, so the fetus's head will enter the pelvic cavity through the mother's pelvic entrance, which is called engagement. So for new mothers, what does it feel like for the fetus to enter the pelvis?

1. Feeling similar to dysmenorrhea. In fact, this is an obvious uterine contraction phenomenon. As the baby continues to move downward, the pain felt by the expectant mother will become more and more obvious. If you experience regular pain after the baby enters the pelvis, you need to go to the hospital immediately and prepare for delivery.

2. Frequent urination. After entering the pelvis, the uterus further compresses the bladder, making it difficult for the bladder to store urine normally, which will make the expectant mother feel the urge to urinate frequently and want to go to the toilet constantly. If you find blood in your urine or pain in your urine, be alert to urinary tract infection.

3. The shape of the belly changes. After the fetus enters the pelvis, the expectant mother's belly will also undergo some changes, such as looking more like a grapefruit, feeling hard, and the breasts will no longer touch the belly.

4. Breathing becomes easier and appetite improves. When the baby enters the pelvis, the fetal position moves downward, and the pressure of the uterus on the internal organs will be significantly reduced, especially the heart, lungs, stomach and other higher organs will gradually resume normal functions. The expectant mother will feel more relaxed, her breathing will be smoother, her appetite will improve, and she will eat more.

5. A feeling of heaviness and pain. Expectant mothers will feel a heaviness and pain in their lower body from time to time, as if something suddenly falls from their abdomen, their belly becomes tight, and there is a little pain in their private parts. The fetus seems to be gradually descending, and their belly will also move down.

Signs of embryonic arrest

The sudden absence of fetal heartbeat in the middle or late stages of pregnancy may be caused by fetal hypoxia, such as umbilical cord disease: umbilical cord torsion, umbilical cord prolapse, etc. Fetal factors: malformation, intrauterine growth retardation, infection, multiple births, etc. Maternal diseases: post-term pregnancy, pregnancy-induced hypertension, cardiovascular disease, toxic shock, etc. Placental factors: placental abruption, placenta previa, etc. All of the above reasons will lead to insufficient oxygen supply to the placenta, causing the fetus to die from lack of oxygen. It is recommended that pregnant women go to the hospital for examination and receive appropriate treatment immediately once they find the disease.

The absence of fetal heartbeat means embryonic arrest. There are many reasons for embryonic arrest, including genetic factors, infection, exposure to radioactive substances, toxic chemicals, taking drugs that are contraindicated during pregnancy, high temperature, excessive stimulation, etc. In most cases, early embryonic development arrest or miscarriage may be due to problems with the chromosomes themselves.

At 6-8 weeks after pregnancy, once you feel that the pregnancy reactions are gradually reducing, such as no more nausea, vomiting and other early pregnancy reactions, and the feeling of breast swelling is weakened, you should be vigilant. These phenomena can be regarded as early symptoms of fetal growth retardation. Some patients have vaginal bleeding with dark red bloody leucorrhea, and some patients have lower abdominal pain. You should go to the hospital for examination immediately.
