Will the absence of pelvic flooring at 38 weeks delay the birth?

It is a normal physiological phenomenon for the fetus to enter the pelvis at the 38th week of pregnancy, and the delivery will not be delayed because, under normal circumstances, the fetus starts to enter the pelvis at around 36 weeks. After entering the pelvis, the pregnant woman can feel pain in the lower abdomen and abdominal pain. However, it is a bit late for the fetus to enter the pelvis at the 38th week of pregnancy. However, normal delivery is still possible as long as the pregnant woman relaxes and prepares for delivery, and goes to the hospital for delivery as soon as she sees blood.

Will the absence of pelvic flooring at 38 weeks delay birth?

1. If the fetus has not entered the pelvis at 38 weeks, it does not necessarily mean that the birth will be delayed. There is no need to worry, because some fetuses enter the pelvis just before delivery. In addition, there are many cases where the fetus enters the pelvis while being delivered.

2. At 38 weeks of pregnancy, you are already full term and may give birth at any time. It is recommended that you be prepared. If you have regular abdominal pain, spotting, or vaginal discharge, you need to go to the hospital in time. Fetal engagement refers to the period after the late pregnancy when the fetus descends into the expectant mother's pelvic cavity with its head down, buttocks up, and the whole body curled up. At this time, the fetus's body position is consolidated.

3. The entry of the fetus into the pelvis is the first step in the delivery process. The fetus enters the pelvis at about 36 weeks of pregnancy. At this time, the expectant mother may feel her lower abdomen falling and her lower body bloating and pain. After the fetus enters the pelvis, it means that the fetal position is relatively fixed, which lays a good foundation for expectant mothers to give birth naturally.

What will it feel like when the fetus enters the pelvis?

The feeling of the fetus entering the pelvis is like something suddenly falling out of the body. Of course, this will vary from person to person. Some expectant mothers will feel their lower abdomen dropping, while others will not feel anything obvious.

1. There will be no special feeling when the fetus enters the pelvis, but you may find that your belly has sagged a little.

2. There is a feeling of falling in the lower abdomen, accompanied by slight pain.

3. There is swelling and pain in the lower body, and you can clearly feel the fetus moving downward.

4. The fundus of the uterus will drop after the fetal head enters the pelvis.

5. After the fetus enters the pelvis, the pressure on the stomach, heart, lungs and other organs is reduced, and the expectant mother will be more comfortable. However, she may be prone to frequent urination, constipation, back and leg pain, etc., which will affect her sleep.

Since the fetus may feel pain when entering the pelvis, many expectant mothers will think that they are about to give birth. In fact, there is no need to rush to the hospital to give birth at this time. You should pay attention to whether the uterine contractions change. If the intensity of the contractions increases, you can go to the hospital accompanied by your family.

Will the absence of pelvic flooring at 38 weeks delay birth? From the above introduction, we know that if the fetus has not entered the pelvis at 38 weeks, the birth will not necessarily be delayed, because some fetuses enter the pelvis before birth, and some enter the pelvis while being born. Therefore, pregnant women cannot use whether the fetus has entered the pelvis as a basis for whether the birth of the child will be delayed. They should pay attention to whether they have any symptoms before delivery.
