The most accurate signs of having a boy in late pregnancy

Many female friends want to know whether they are pregnant with a boy in the late pregnancy, and they also want to know what characteristics of a boy are. In fact, no matter which judgment method is used, it is unscientific. For the gender of the fetus, whether it is a boy or a girl, it is the same. In the late pregnancy, the most important thing is to pay attention to the time of delivery and pay more attention to your body changes.

4. The pressure on the upper abdomen is reduced

Because the fetal head has descended into the pelvic cavity, breathing feels smoother and eating discomfort has also improved. Most first-time mothers will feel this change between 36 and 38 weeks, at which time they can start to pay attention to the onset of bleeding, water breaking, or labor pains.

5. Rupture of the amniotic membrane

Amniotic fluid is a clear, colorless, fishy-smelling liquid that flows continuously and involuntarily from the vagina. If you find that your water has broken, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. At this time, you will be recommended to be admitted to the hospital for delivery, and then appropriate treatment will be given depending on the contraction of the uterus.

6. Temporary lack of oxygen causes pain

The entire abdomen becomes very hard during contractions and very soft when there is no pain. Real labor pains are regular and increasingly frequent. At first, there may be a contraction every 10 minutes, each lasting 10-30 seconds. However, as labor progresses, contractions occur every 3-4 minutes, each lasting 30-60 seconds.

The intensity and duration of the contractions are not reduced by massage, ambulation, bed rest, or medication. The most important thing is that the cervix will thin and dilate effectively. At this time, the doctor will usually first perform an internal examination to assess the condition of the cervix. If it is still very thick and has not expanded, the mother will be advised to go home and wait, continue to pay attention to fetal movement, and then look at the situation of labor pains. If there is water breaking or increased bleeding, return for a checkup.

Under normal circumstances, spotting in the late pregnancy is a sign of labor, that is, the uterus contracts, the baby's head begins to fall into the pelvis, and the fetal membrane and uterine wall gradually separate and the friction will cause blood vessels to rupture and bleed, commonly known as spotting. Many women believe that they will have contractions immediately after they see blood. Because of the mental tension, they focus their attention completely on this, which leads to insomnia. The physical fatigue caused by lack of sleep will lead to decreased physical strength and lack of energy, which is very unfavorable for childbirth.

Keep a good mood, wait actively and patiently, eat normally, ensure sleep, and maintain physical strength. If there is only a light streak of blood and the amount is not large, the pregnant mother can stay at home to observe and pay attention not to overwork and avoid strenuous exercise.
