I keep farting when I'm close to my due date.

In our lives, many mothers will experience many changes in their bodies when they are close to their due date. For example, some mothers are prone to farting when they are due, and some mothers will have their bowel movements affected after their due date. Sometimes they will also feel abdominal pain. These are all normal manifestations of due date. So, does farting a lot when the due date comes mean that the baby is about to be born?

Generally speaking, most babies give birth within 2 weeks before or after the expected date of delivery. In your case, the frequency of flatulence has increased, so you should pay attention to whether it is related to your diet. Pay more attention to observation and check-ups. If a normal delivery is suitable, pay attention to appropriate activities that can facilitate delivery. Pay attention to changes in fetal movements. If any abnormal symptoms occur, seek medical attention in a timely manner.

If you are in the late stages of pregnancy and often fart, you should consider that it is caused by the enlarged uterus irritating the rectum. Don't be overly nervous, pay attention to rest, avoid overwork, eat more fruits and vegetables to prevent constipation and diarrhea, and go to the hospital in time if symptoms of labor occur.

If any of these 3 situations occur, it is a sign of labor. At this time, pregnant mothers should get ready quickly because the baby is about to be born.

1. Spotting: Time: 24 to 48 hours before delivery: Causes: The fetal head falls and enters the pelvis, the lower end of the uterus and the cervix expand, and the fetal membrane separates from the uterine wall, causing capillaries to rupture and bleed, which then mixes with the mucus in the cervix to form a bloody viscous secretion. Characteristics: A mixture of brown, pink and red mucus appears in the lower body, which is sticky; the amount of bleeding is less than the usual menstrual flow. If the amount of bleeding at this time exceeds the normal menstrual volume, you should be alert to whether it is a dangerous condition such as placenta previa or placental abruption.

2. Labor pains: Time: 12 to 14 hours before delivery, mostly occurring between 22:00 and 6:00: Cause: Strong contraction of the uterus causes temporary hypoxia, triggering the release of pain factors, resulting in labor pains; compression of the birth canal and nerves by the fetus can also cause labor pains. Characteristics: It can be divided into whole body pain, stretching pain, compression pain, etc.

3. Rupture of membranes: Time: A few hours before delivery, or close to delivery: Cause: Increased uterine contractions and increased pressure in the uterine cavity, leading to rupture of the amniotic membrane sac and outflow of amniotic fluid. This situation is commonly known as "water breaking".
