Yellow leucorrhea like snot in late pregnancy

The late pregnancy is a very important period. If there is any physical problem with the pregnant woman at this time, it is very likely that the fetus will be affected. Therefore, when there is any abnormality in the body, people will be very nervous. Many people have encountered the situation where the leucorrhea turns yellow and looks like mucus in the late pregnancy. So, why does the leucorrhea in late pregnancy turn yellow and look like snot? Let’s take a look below.

What should I do if my leucorrhea turns yellow and looks like snot in the late pregnancy?

1. Normal leucorrhea should be white. If you have yellow discharge from your vagina now, it may be caused by vaginitis.

2. It is recommended to continue to observe and relax. If there is no discomfort, you can wait until after delivery for treatment. During this period, do prenatal check-ups on time, pay attention to the number of fetal movements, and do appropriate activities. If there is spotting and abdominal pain, go to the hospital in time to wait for delivery.

3. Go to the hospital to check the routine of leucorrhea, and receive symptomatic treatment after confirming the specific cause. Do not have sex during the treatment, pay attention to the hygiene of the perineum, wear pure cotton underwear, and do not eat irritating foods.

What should you pay attention to in the late pregnancy?

1. Do not go out for a walk or shopping alone

In the late stages of pregnancy, expectant mothers will choose to go out for a walk or walk up the stairs more often in order to increase the chances of a normal birth. Dad suggests that when going out for a walk or shopping, it is best to be accompanied by family members.

2. Regular prenatal check-ups

Generally, expectant mothers need to have a check-up every 2 weeks starting from the 28th week, and once a week starting from the 36th week. At 36 weeks, the doctor will examine the expectant mother's physical condition, the size of the baby, and the condition of the amniotic fluid to decide the mode of delivery.

3. Prohibition of sexual intercourse

Sexual intercourse is prohibited in the late stages of pregnancy to avoid premature rupture of membranes, which can lead to premature birth of the baby.

4. Keep counting fetal movements

The normal number of fetal movements is 3 times or more per hour, and the number of fetal movements every 12 hours is 30 times or more. When the number of fetal movements is less than 20 times per 12 hours, expectant mothers need to be vigilant. If you find abnormal fetal movement, such as less than 10 movements every 12 hours, the fetal movement suddenly becomes violent, or the fetal movement suddenly stops after being violent, you should seek medical attention immediately without delay!

5. Prepare your delivery bag 1-2 months before your due date

Nowadays, many items are purchased online. If you prepare your delivery bag too late, it will be troublesome if something gets lost. In addition, baby's clothes also need to be washed and exposed to the sun in advance. Prepare them early and you won't be too rushed.

6. Don’t be too nervous and learn to adjust your mental state

As the due date approaches, many expectant mothers are both excited and nervous. For various reasons, their sleep quality at night is poor and their mood is also affected. Dad suggests that expectant mothers can learn more about the entire delivery process through books and take proactive measures to cope with the situation. When you feel nervous, you can also communicate more with the expectant father and learn to adjust your mental state.

7. Learn to distinguish between "false labor" and "real labor"

If you learn to distinguish between real and false contractions, you won’t panic when you encounter “false contractions”. Generally, if you encounter false labor, you can relieve it by walking around a little or taking a short rest. Moreover, the intervals between labor contractions are long and irregular. When experiencing real contractions, no matter what the expectant mother does, the discomfort caused by the contractions will not stop.
