What to do in the 38th week of pregnancy

Pregnancy is a very special period because it concerns the physical health of the pregnant woman and the development of the fetus. Therefore, you need to be aware of it at any stage, and there are some things that pregnant women need to do in each stage. So, what do you need to do in the 38th week of pregnancy? Let me introduce it to you below, I hope it will be helpful to you.

1. Understand the medical procedures to help you prepare for childbirth with peace of mind

After the expectant mother is pushed into the delivery room to give birth, she will spend a long waiting time. In addition to the expectant mother herself and the husband accompanying the delivery being prepared for a "long battle", understanding the medical procedures required during delivery can also help the expectant mother clearly understand the role of each step and be able to cooperate with medical staff during delivery.

2. Be kind to yourself

Your state of mind is extremely important whether you spend this period comfortably. While paying attention to changes in your body, pay attention to your emotions. Listen to soothing music or tell yourself how great I am! Avoid unnecessary arguments and avoid interacting with negative people. As long as it makes sense, do whatever you want.

3. Learn two tips to control pain

Imagination and breathing are two pain control tips mentioned in natural childbirth. During labor, imagine talking to your baby. Every time the contraction comes, say, "Little one, you will be out soon." "I'm strong, it won't hurt much, the pain will bring new life." Try to relax yourself and coordinate with your breathing.

4. Things that the expectant father needs to prepare before giving birth

Childbirth is a special physiological process. Both the mother and the fetus have the ability to actively participate in and complete the natural childbirth process. Unnecessary cesarean sections will increase the risks to both mother and baby. As a father, you must encourage your wife to give birth to the baby by herself if possible. Not only should you say it, but you should also show your support for your wife's natural childbirth with practical actions. Maybe someone says you are a model husband. That is an encouragement to you. Don’t be proud. Because there will be more difficult tasks after the child is born, so learn slowly and practice diligently.

5. Read more parenting books and magazines

Learn more about the specific methods of baby care, such as massage techniques and precautions, how to prepare milk powder correctly, etc. There are many things that we used to take for granted, but in fact there are still many truths and rules that you don’t know!

Sometimes, problems are inevitable because pregnant women do not understand what examinations they need to do during their period. The above article introduces what you need to do in the 38th week of pregnancy. I would like to remind you to read the above content carefully. I believe it will be of great help to both you and the fetus.
