What should you pay attention to during the 33rd week of pregnancy?

You should pay attention to your behavior during pregnancy. These small behaviors can often lead to big disasters and have a certain impact on the development of the fetus. Especially in the later stages of pregnancy, you should pay attention to your diet and daily behavior, otherwise it will lead to fetal malformations. Let us now understand what you should pay attention to in the 33rd week of pregnancy.

1. Ultrasound examination: It is recommended that expectant mothers undergo a detailed ultrasound examination this week to assess the weight and development of the fetus at that time (for example, a fetus with preeclampsia will look smaller), and estimate the weight of the fetus when it is delivered at full term.

2. Avoid overwork: Do not repeat the same action, such as long-term, high-intensity knitting, sewing or gardening. Because the joints and ligaments of the whole body become loose, excessive fatigue can easily cause muscle injuries, aseptic inflammation and strain diseases.

3. Severe edema: The mother’s hands, feet, legs, etc. will be swollen at this time, but do not restrict water intake because both the mother and the fetus need a lot of water. If you notice severe swelling in your hands or face, be sure to see a doctor.

4. Be alert to premature rupture of membranes: Under normal circumstances, the membranes rupture during labor, the amniotic fluid flows out, and the fetus is delivered within a few hours. If the amniotic membrane ruptures before labor (that is, before regular uterine contractions occur) and some amniotic fluid flows out, this is called premature rupture of membranes. If this happens, the pregnant woman should be sent to the hospital emergency room immediately. It is best to move the pregnant woman in a supine position with the hips slightly elevated.

The above are some precautions that should be taken during the 33rd week of pregnancy. There are some diseases that are more likely to occur during pregnancy, which will not only affect the physical health of the expectant mother, but also the development of the child. In order to avoid such phenomena, you should be careful when conducting examinations and eating various foods.
