40 weeks of pregnancy, sudden increase in discharge

If a pregnant woman experiences increased secretions during the 49th week of pregnancy, she must pay attention, as this may be caused by the rupture of the amniotic fluid. Therefore, relevant examinations must be done to avoid not knowing about the rupture of the amniotic fluid in time, as this poses a great threat to the baby's health.

1. Increased hormones in the body

We know that generally after pregnancy, the progesterone level in the body will increase. At this time, the metabolism of the pregnant mother will speed up, so the amount of secretions will also increase. In fact, this situation is a normal phenomenon after pregnancy, but it is easy to breed bacteria. Therefore, during pregnancy, pregnant mothers must change and wash their underwear in time to keep the private parts clean and dry to avoid bacterial infection. Pregnant mothers must also be careful when choosing underwear. They should choose some low-waisted, seamless underwear with good elasticity, because this will not restrict the pregnant mother's belly, make the baby feel uncomfortable in the pregnant mother's belly, or cause the baby to lack of oxygen.

2. Pregnant mothers suffer from inflammation or gynecological diseases

If a pregnant mother finds that the secretions from her private parts are brown and accompanied by itching, odor, etc., she may have some kind of inflammation or gynecological disease. Then she needs to go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid worsening of the disease and harm to the baby.

3. Menstruation after pregnancy

We know that pregnant women do not have menstruation during pregnancy, but there are also a small number of pregnant women who will have a small amount of menstruation during pregnancy. But this phenomenon will not last too long. When pregnant mothers encounter this situation, it is best to lie in bed and rest. Try not to get out of bed unless it is necessary. Because if you move for a long time, it will easily lead to increased menstrual volume, which will cause the risk of miscarriage.

4. Rupture of the amniotic fluid

Pregnant women may experience premature rupture of membranes in the late stages of pregnancy. When the pregnant mother's amniotic fluid breaks, the amount of secretion will increase, and it will flow down the legs, which actually means that the amniotic fluid has broken. Therefore, at this time, pregnant mothers must rush to the hospital in time to prepare for delivery, and don't be careless.

Although we know the due date of the baby, we cannot really know the specific time of the baby's arrival. Therefore, in the late pregnancy, for the health of the expectant mother and the fetus, the expectant mother should try not to be alone at home. Also, before giving birth, you must prepare the items needed by adults and children to avoid being in a rush during delivery.
