40 weeks of pregnancy signs of labor

It is said that pregnancy lasts ten months and delivery takes one day, but in fact the whole pregnancy process does not reach ten months. It usually takes nine and a half months. After a woman becomes pregnant, the doctor will calculate the due date for her. When the due date is approaching, she will face delivery. At this time, many women will become very nervous. In fact, there are many signals before delivery, and you can make a quick judgment based on these signals. So what are the signals of labor at 40 weeks of pregnancy?

For those who have given birth or work in the obstetrics and gynecology department of a hospital, they are very familiar with the number of weeks of pregnancy, which is 28 weeks. Most people say that 28 weeks is a very critical period, because it means that the fetus will reach a sensitive period when it is prone to miscarriage, and it also means that the baby will soon be born. But at this time, if the pregnant mother does not pay attention to her daily life and physical condition, especially when these conditions appear in the body, she should see a doctor immediately, otherwise it is likely to cause premature birth of the baby or even endanger the child's life.

1. Pain in the lower abdomen

If you experience abdominal pain in late pregnancy, it is a very serious matter. Because the fetus's living environment is the mother's uterus, and often when the mother's stomach hurts, it is a signal that there is a problem with the fetus, and she should go to the hospital for examination in time.

2. Fetal movement frequency decreases

When mothers enter the critical period of 28 weeks of pregnancy, they should learn to pay attention to the fetal movements at all times. Under normal circumstances, fetal movement should be maintained at about 3 times per hour. If the fetal movement exceeds 30 times within 12 hours, it is relatively normal and healthy. When the fetal movement is less than 20 times, the fetus may be suffering from hypoxia.

3. Cleanliness of underwear

If some pregnant mothers find that there is increased secretion on their underwear during pregnancy, it is best to go to the hospital to check what is going on. And as the months go by, you should pay more attention to the cleaning of your private parts. Pay attention to your daily hygiene and always pay attention to the secretions in your underwear to avoid missing the signals sent by the fetus. And also to better prepare for the birth of the fetus.

Also, when pregnant mothers reach the 28th week of pregnancy, they can start preparing delivery bags, so that they can better prepare for the birth of the baby. After all, you have to know that the due date is only a reference value and cannot accurately estimate when the baby will be born, so it is very critical and important to make preparations in advance.

Pregnancy is a very hard and troublesome thing, and pregnant mothers must persevere through this difficult time. If you think about your lovely baby in your belly waiting for your mother to bring her into this beautiful world, you will definitely have more motivation to persevere. After ten months of pregnancy, we wait for the moment of delivery. I hope every pregnant mother can give birth to a lovely baby smoothly and safely.
