Will frequent urination stop after entering the pelvis?

There are many factors that lead to frequent urination, which can be mainly divided into two types: physiological and pathological. In fact, there are symptoms of frequent urination during pregnancy, which is a normal phenomenon, especially in the late pregnancy. Severely frequent urination may indicate that the pelvis has entered, but frequent urination also affects normal life. So, will frequent urination stop after the baby has entered the pelvis? Let’s take a closer look below.

Will frequent urination still occur after the fetus enters the pelvis?

If the biparietal diameter of the fetal head reaches below the entrance of the mother's pelvic cavity, the fetal head and pelvis are proportional, which is called "fetal engagement". This indicates that vaginal delivery is possible and the first step of the delivery process has been completed.

Generally speaking, the fetal position will not change after entering the pelvis, which lays a good foundation for a smooth delivery. Since the fetal head has entered the pelvis, the pregnant woman may experience frequent urination, constipation, cervical distension, etc. This is normal. As the uterus grows and descends, it compresses the intestines and bladder. The fetal head entering the pelvis sometimes collides with the cervical opening, so frequent urination, constipation, cervical distension, etc. There is no need to worry as long as there is no labor phenomenon such as water breaking, spotting, frequent uterine contractions, etc. The most important thing is to maintain a happy mood, move around moderately, and keep your body in the best condition.

What to do if the fetus does not enter the pelvis

Generally speaking, in the last month of pregnancy, the fetal head of a normal primipara should enter the pregnant woman's pelvis and be connected to the pelvis without floating. However, in a few pregnant women, the fetal head still does not enter the pelvis when the pregnancy is full-term, but floats above the pubic symphysis, which is called primipara head floating.

The reason for this is that some pregnant women have a narrow pelvis, and the fetal head is not proportional to the pelvis, which makes it impossible for the fetal head to enter the pelvis. This phenomenon may occur if the fetal head is too large, the fetal position is abnormal, or there is placenta previa, even if the pregnant woman's pelvis is normal. Fetal hydrocephalus or polyhydramnios can also cause it. However, some primiparas do not have the above reasons, but still experience the phenomenon of the fetal head not entering the pelvis.

Pregnant women who have a floating head during their first delivery do not need to be nervous. If the pregnant woman's pelvis and fetus are normal, she should cooperate closely with the doctor. After delivery, due to the squeezing of the uterine contraction, the fetal head will also deform into the pelvis, so that vaginal delivery can still be successful. If the examination finds that the floating head is caused by uncorrectable pathological factors, you can prepare for surgical delivery. If a pregnant woman with a floating head experiences premature rupture of membranes and leakage of amniotic fluid, she should stay in bed with her hips raised and be sent to the hospital immediately. Because this situation is very likely to cause umbilical cord prolapse, causing accidents to the fetus.
