Brown sticky discharge at 39 weeks

The 39th week of pregnancy is already in the late stage of pregnancy, and the birth is almost imminent. You must pay attention to the care of your body and observe the changes in your body. If you feel any discomfort in your abdomen, go to the hospital immediately to apply for hospitalization. Let’s discuss what is going on when there is thick dark brown discharge at 39 weeks?

During the 39th week of pregnancy, many pregnant women will have dark brown secretions. This is a common problem and expectant mothers do not need to worry too much.

1. It is normal to have brown discharge at 39 weeks of pregnancy. However, if the amount is large, it is considered to be pregnancy spotting, and the baby may be due in a day or two. It is recommended to pay attention to local hygiene, eat less spicy food, raw and cold food, and irritating food, pay attention to rest, observe the bleeding, and it is best to go to the hospital to check the condition of the embryo and amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman. If hospitalization is necessary, you can receive pregnancy-preserving treatment and don't overwork.

2. If brown discharge appears at 39 weeks of pregnancy and it is vaginal discharge, it is pregnancy spotting, which is basically a sign of labor. If brown discharge occurs before 37 weeks, the baby may be premature. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up.

3. The appearance of brown discharge at 39 weeks of pregnancy indicates that the delivery stage is approaching. If it is fast, uterine contractions will occur immediately, while in some cases, uterine contractions will occur after about a week. It is recommended that you pay attention to changes in fetal movements. You can do fetal monitoring to understand the fetal situation in the uterine cavity. If you experience periodic abdominal pain and idiopathic aggravation or vaginal discharge, you need to be hospitalized and delivered immediately. Abnormal fetal movements also require immediate follow-up. It is recommended to see a doctor as soon as possible to check whether the fetal heartbeat and fetal movement are normal. Generally, vaginal bleeding indicates that the pregnant woman's labor is about to begin.

Pay attention to your activity posture

(1) When walking, you should keep your head up, back straight, neck upright, and hips tucked in to maintain body balance.

(2) When sitting, try to sit on a table or chair with an upright back instead of a low fabric sofa. Keep your back straight, use your legs to sit up slowly, and then adjust your posture so that your back and buttocks can rest comfortably on the backrest with your feet resting.

(3) To stand up, first move your upper body to the front of the chair, then place your hands on the table, use your legs to support your body and stand up slowly, keeping your back straight. That will prevent you from leaning forward and engaging your latissimus dorsi.

(4) When standing up, keep your back straight and naturally flexed and extended, and use the strength of the thigh roots, buttocks and waist muscles to support the weight of the abdomen, effectively avoiding back pain caused by standing for a long time.
