How many weeks of pregnancy is normal for childbirth

You have to understand that when a woman is pregnant, she will experience many emergencies. Women who are pregnant for the first time will immediately become more anxious. After experiencing many discomforts during pregnancy, you begin to worry about your delivery time, especially when the due date is approaching. So let’s find out together, how many weeks of pregnancy is normal for women to give birth?

How many weeks of pregnancy is considered normal for childbirth

The approximate arrangement of prenatal checkups during pregnancy is mainly: the first prenatal checkup is around 6 weeks of pregnancy (about 40 days after menstruation); the second prenatal checkup is at 9-13 weeks (preferably 11-13 weeks), mainly for early Down syndrome screening; the third prenatal checkup is at 16-18 weeks; the fourth prenatal checkup is at around 22 weeks, with color Doppler ultrasound to rule out fetal malformations; the fifth prenatal checkup is at around 28 weeks; the sixth prenatal checkup is at around 32 weeks; and prenatal checks are conducted once a week after 36 weeks. The above is the new standardized prenatal examination process. In the past, the requirements for the intervals between prenatal examinations were: before 28 weeks, a prenatal examination should be conducted every four weeks; between 28 and 36 weeks, a prenatal examination should be conducted every half month; after 36 weeks, a prenatal examination should be conducted once a week. In fact, there is not much difference between the two.

A few days before delivery, pregnant women will experience irregular uterine contractions and lower abdominal pain. At the beginning, the intervals may be 20 minutes, and then become more and more irregular. At this time, pregnant mothers can rely on walking and resting to reduce the pain of delivery. This type of pain does not cause the cervix to dilate, so it is called false labor, indicating that there is some time before the actual delivery. Of course, if the pregnant woman is unsure about this situation, she can go to the hospital for a doctor's diagnosis.

In addition, pregnant women feeling relaxed is also a sign of labor. When the baby's head sinks into the pelvis, the pregnant mother will feel that breathing is more stable and it is easier to eat. Generally, first-time mothers will start to have this feeling half a month before delivery, but it may not be the case for those who are not first-time mothers. However, the head position of the fetus may compress the bladder, causing frequent urination in pregnant women.
