Increased and thick secretions in late pregnancy

Women in their late pregnancy need to pay great attention to the occurrence of various adverse situations in their lives to avoid causing major damage to the development of the fetus. In most cases, women in the late pregnancy will encounter physiological problems. For example, the increase and stickiness of secretions makes many expectant mothers feel very confused. Let’s take a look at what is going on with the increase and stickiness of secretions in the late pregnancy? I hope everyone can understand it.

In the late pregnancy, the uterus begins to have physiological contractions and the cervix begins to move. Especially after the appearance of threatened labor, the cervical canal gradually shortens and the cervical opening dilates. Therefore, vaginal secretions increase, mainly cervical mucus.

White sticky secretions in the late pregnancy are a normal physiological process during pregnancy and there is no need to worry too much. After pregnancy, due to the influence of progesterone, there will be an increase in secretions. As long as the amount is not too much, there is no need to worry too much. During pregnancy, you must pay attention to nutritional intake, eat more high-protein foods, do not overwork, and maintain adequate sleep to avoid adverse effects on the fetus.

White sticky discharge in the late pregnancy may be caused by vaginitis, so you should go to the hospital for examination in time. To prevent infection that may prevent the fetus in the uterus from growing healthily, the growth of the fetus in the late pregnancy will have many effects on the body. As long as pain occurs or fetal movements are frequent, timely treatment must be sought.

The main consideration is the presence of mild gynecological inflammation or the fetus compressing the cervix, causing congestion and secretions. For such problems, it is recommended that you choose to maintain better hygiene of the vulva, and then pay attention to regular pregnancy check-ups. If it is close to the due date, it is best to be hospitalized and wait for delivery. Try to avoid waiting until the amniotic sac ruptures before going to the hospital.
