What does a flat cervix mean?

In the later stages of pregnancy, you should gradually pay attention to the condition of the cervix, which is directly related to whether the pregnancy can be successful. Some pregnant women find out that their cervix is ​​flattened during physical examinations. As ordinary people, they certainly don’t know the reason, but they are very concerned about whether it will affect fertility. So, what does cervical flattening mean? Let’s take a look at the specific situation of cervical flattening.

Symptoms of imminent birth

The edema has disappeared: Some mothers experience swelling in their feet, hands, face, etc. during the seventh or eighth month of pregnancy, or even in the last half month. There will be varying degrees of edema, which may become very severe, and the shoes that they used to be able to wear may suddenly become too small to wear. When the baby is about to be born, the swelling of the feet will go away and the baby will be born within a few days. In some cases, the swelling will go away on the same day and the baby will start to give birth on the same day.

Feeling of falling: The birth is imminent. Generally, you can ask your family to observe your belly. They will obviously find that your originally big belly has moved down a little. This actually means that your baby has begun to enter the pelvis and is preparing for birth. Because we know that all babies must eventually enter the pelvis for normal delivery. At the same time, careful mothers can also feel a feeling of the baby falling down, which indicates that the baby will meet you soon.

Labor pains: The above are all signs that will occur within a week of birth. The following three are signs that birth will occur on the same day. During contractions, you will feel a sudden, inexplicable pain in your stomach, and you will feel like you need to go to the toilet, but when you go to the toilet, you find that you can't defecate anything. And it was fine immediately and didn't hurt much anymore. After a while, your stomach will start to hurt again, intermittently. This is a phenomenon before delivery. When you find that the intervals between contractions are relatively short, you can prepare to go to the hospital.

Water discharge: This is a symptom that the baby is about to be born. If a mother suddenly finds that a lot of water-like liquid is flowing out of her underwear and cannot be controlled, it is different from urine. This is water discharge. The so-called water discharge means that the baby's amniotic fluid has broken. At this time, the situation is very critical. Because the baby mainly relies on amniotic fluid to survive in the body, if there is less amniotic fluid, it is likely to cause the baby to lack of oxygen in the body and be dangerous. Therefore, it is best for the mother to lie down quickly and raise her hips to prevent further outflow of amniotic fluid. It is best for family members to call 120 and send the baby to the hospital.
