What should you pay attention to during the 37th week of pregnancy?

For mothers who are in their 37th week of pregnancy, will they feel increasing pressure in their abdomen and their protruding belly gradually falling? This is what we call the fetus beginning to enter the pelvis, that is, the fetal head descends into the pelvis, which is in preparation for birth and delivery. At this time, mothers' lungs and stomachs will feel better, and their appetite will improve, but movements will become increasingly difficult. At this time, you need to pay attention to some issues. Let's learn about them below.

The baby is now about 51 cm long and weighs about 3000 grams. Some babies will be relatively thin, but generally speaking, as long as it weighs over 2500 grams, it is considered normal. The baby's head has now completely entered the pelvis. If the fetus is in an abnormal position at this time, the doctor will usually recommend that the pregnant mother give birth by caesarean section. Babies born after this weekend can be called full-term babies. This means that your baby could be born at any time.

The pregnant mother's breasts swell up and begin to secrete a small amount of milk. Because the baby's head is positioned very low, you will feel a heavy feeling between your legs; you may occasionally feel a stabbing pain in your lower abdomen, but don't be nervous, it is the baby pressing on your nerves. After enduring more than 200 days and nights of hardship, it is very important to maintain a good mental state before giving birth, which is related to whether the delivery will be smooth. However, the closer it gets to delivery, the more likely pregnant mothers will become nervous and anxious, so this is when they should start preventing insomnia. Reading more information about childbirth will help you understand the unknown and reduce unnecessary psychological burden; frequent communication with your loved one, family, and friends will reduce your mental stress.

Pregnant mothers should face the upcoming delivery with a natural attitude. The husband and family should also be mentally prepared, especially when the mother begins to have labor pains. Don't panic, and don't add anxiety and unnecessary worries to the mother during the critical period of delivery. All "logistical" work should be fully prepared. In the late pregnancy, especially when the pregnant woman has shown some signs of labor, there should be someone at home to take care of her at all times, or ensure that the pregnant woman can get in touch with her husband or relatives and friends at any time so that she has some support.

Although it is the safest way for pregnant women to be in the hospital when they are about to give birth, under normal circumstances, it is not recommended for pregnant women to be admitted to the hospital early to give birth. First, the hospital's medical equipment is limited, and it is impossible to be as comfortable and convenient as home; second, everything that happens in the obstetrics ward may affect the mood of the inpatients. Pregnant women who have not given birth for a long time after being admitted to the hospital usually feel a sense of urgency and anxiety under the influence of the general environment, especially when they see that those who were admitted later have given birth. Therefore, unless there are special circumstances, the best choice for pregnant mothers is to stay at home and wait for delivery.

It is the 37th week of pregnancy. Pregnant women will have a little bit of nervousness and anticipation at this time. They are nervous about the tearing pain during delivery, and they are looking forward to what the baby will look like after it is born. There will be another important member in their future life, and they yearn for a wonderful family life.
