Symptoms of nine months of pregnancy

Nine months of pregnancy is approaching the delivery stage, and when a woman is about to give birth, her body will easily undergo some changes. She will easily experience abdominal pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen. It will also easily lead to uterine contractions. When these conditions occur, you need to prepare early and go to the hospital to give birth.

What are the symptoms of being pregnant for nine months?

1. Pregnant women feel relaxed in their abdomen. 1-2 weeks before delivery, primigravidas often feel their upper abdomen more comfortable, breathe more quickly, and eat more because the fetal presenting part descends into the pelvis and the fundus of the uterus lowers. However, as the presenting part descends and compresses the pelvic bladder, rectum and other tissues, the patient often feels a sense of heaviness in the lower abdomen, frequent urination, and back pain.

2. False contractions. Pregnant women often have irregular uterine contractions 1-2 weeks before delivery. Compared with the uterine contractions after delivery, they have the following characteristics: short duration, long intervals, and irregularity. The intensity of the contractions does not increase. The contractions only cause mild distension and pain and are limited to the lower abdomen. The cervix does not expand with the contractions. A small amount of sedatives can suppress this "false contraction."

3. Seeing blood. 24-48 hours before delivery, some mucus mixed with blood will flow out of the vagina, which is called spotting. It is caused by the expansion of the lower uterine segment and cervix, the separation of the nearby fetal membrane from the uterine wall, the rupture of capillaries and bleeding, which mix with the mucus in the cervix to form bloody mucous secretions. It is a relatively reliable sign before delivery. If the amount of vaginal bleeding is heavy and exceeds the amount of menstruation, it should not be considered as a sign of delivery. Instead, you should consider whether there are bleeding diseases in late pregnancy, such as placenta previa, placental abruption, etc.

Symptoms of impending labor in 9 months of pregnancy, that is, the symptoms of threatened labor: one is spotting, which means bloody vaginal discharge accompanied by cervical mucus plugging, indicating that the cervix has progressed and is a sign of threatened labor. The other is abdominal contractions, where you feel your stomach slowly getting tighter and harder, and it hurts. It lasts for about 10-20 seconds, and then your stomach starts to relax and soften. This process occurs every 3-5 minutes, and it's called contractions, the pain of labor. You may need to be hospitalized, and it's a sign of impending labor. Some people may also experience water breaking, with water flowing out of the vagina, which is also a symptom of imminent birth.
