I keep wanting to pee, is it because I am about to give birth?

During pregnancy, many pregnant women always want to sleep. This problem may be caused by the fetus raising its head and pressing on the bladder, or it may be because the pregnant woman has a urinary tract infection. There is no need to worry too much about the former situation, but if it is a urinary tract infection, pregnant women must pay attention. In addition, pregnant women in the late stages of pregnancy should also have a clear understanding of the prenatal signs and precautions!

1. What is the reason for always wanting to urinate?

The symptoms of frequent urination in late pregnancy may be due to the following reasons: 1. The fetus enters the pelvis, the fetal head descends, presses on the bladder, and the bladder capacity becomes smaller, making it easy to urinate. 2. Pregnant women have relatively weak resistance and are prone to urinary tract infections, such as urethritis. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a urine test to find out the cause.

What are the main signs of prenatal

1. Reduction of upper abdominal pressure: First-time mothers may experience this change 1-2 weeks before delivery. At this time, because the fetal head descends into the pelvis, the pressure in the abdominal cavity gradually decreases, the upper abdomen is liberated, the expectant mother's breathing becomes lighter, and her appetite increases.

2. Lower abdominal distension: As the fetal head moves downward, the pressure on the bladder, rectum and other tissues below the uterus further increases. Expectant mothers may often have a noticeable feeling of distension, and experience discomfort such as frequent urination and back pain.

3. False labor: It usually occurs 1-2 weeks before delivery. Common symptoms include irregular labor, short duration, and long intervals. The expectant mother will feel tightness in the stomach and abdominal pain. False labor usually does not last more than 30 seconds and is not strong. The pain caused is mainly concentrated in the lower abdomen, and a small dose of sedatives can suppress it.

4. True uterine contractions: The contractions are irregular at first, then increase in strength, last longer each time, and shorten in intervals, and then slowly become regular. Waves of abdominal pain come over the expectant mother, and the pain increases, indicating that delivery is imminent.

5. Seeing blood: It often occurs within 24-48 hours before delivery. Some sticky liquid mixed with blood will flow out of the expectant mother's lower body. This is a major signal that delivery is imminent. However, if you find bright red blood flowing out of your vagina, or the amount of bleeding exceeds the normal menstrual period, it is not a normal sign of labor. It may be caused by an accident such as placenta previa or placental abruption, and you need to seek medical attention immediately.

6. Rupture of membranes: As uterine contractions gradually intensify, the pressure in the uterus increases, the cervix gradually opens, and the fetus descends, causing the amniotic sac to rupture naturally and the amniotic fluid to flow out of the mother's vagina. Once the water breaks, delivery of the baby will begin soon.

3. Precautions before delivery

In addition to preparing the delivery bag in advance, expectant mothers also need to make the following preparations with their family:

1. Save the phone numbers of hospitals and doctors and make sure you can contact them at any time.

2. Plan the route and transportation to the hospital. It is best to practice it in advance and calculate the time required.

3. Prepare an alternative route to ensure you can reach the hospital on time if there is traffic congestion, such as rush hour.

4. Inform your boss and colleagues of the expected delivery date in advance and hand over the work at hand to your colleagues.

5. Take care of your housework and contact family, friends or caregivers in advance to ask them to take care of children, pets and handle other household chores.

6. Make sure there is always someone by your side during the late stages of pregnancy.
