Nausea and vomiting at 39 weeks of pregnancy is a sign of labor

The normal pregnancy cycle is 40 weeks, and after the 37th week, pregnant women need to be prepared for delivery at any time. Therefore, when pregnant women experience vomiting symptoms during the 39th week of pregnancy, they will worry whether it is because they are about to give birth. So, what causes them to vomit? Which symptoms are considered as symptoms of childbirth?

First, does vomiting at 39 weeks of pregnancy mean that the baby is about to be born?

Vomiting at 39 weeks of pregnancy is not a symptom of impending birth. The occurrence of such symptoms may be related to the patient's diet or cold. In this case, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a physical examination in time, and choose suitable medicines for pregnant women under the guidance of the doctor to improve the problem. Because if a pregnant woman vomits, it is easy to cause stomach contraction due to vomiting, which may cause spotting or rupture of amniotic fluid. Therefore, vomiting in women in late pregnancy must also be taken seriously.

Second, the symptoms of labor

If a pregnant woman is about to give birth, there will be certain symptoms. Common symptoms mainly include periodic abdominal pain, which is uterine contraction; amniotic fluid leakage, which is amniotic fluid rupture; of course, some pregnant women may have spotting during pregnancy. No matter which of the above symptoms a pregnant woman has, family members must accompany the pregnant woman to the hospital for examination in time. Depending on the situation, whether hospitalization is necessary should be determined. Do not ignore it after discovering the above symptoms, otherwise it may threaten the health of mother and daughter.

What is the reason why pregnant women have fewer fetal movements?

First of all, the number and speed of fetal movements can indicate the well-being of the fetus. Generally speaking, when the gestational age reaches 24 weeks, it is time to listen to the fetal heart rate and count the fetal movements. Generally, count in bed or sit after eating, 3 times a day, each time for 1 hour. Add up the number of fetal movements in the morning, afternoon, and evening each day and multiply by 4 to get the number of fetal movements in 12 hours. If the number of fetal movements in 12 hours exceeds 30 times, it means that the fetus is growing steadily. If it is 20 to 30 times, you should pay attention to the number of movements every other day. If it drops to 20 times, inform the doctor for further examination.

Gynecologists emphasize that, in fact, the baby's daily fetal movements are not very regular. Many complex factors such as environmental damage or changes in the mother's mood may cause different fetal movements. As long as the fetal heartbeat test is normal, there is no big problem. As long as there is no problem with the fetal movement count, that is, the baby moves 3-5 times in 1 hour, or the baby moves more than 10 times in 12 hours, it is normal. If you feel there is an obvious abnormality, you can go to the hospital to listen to the fetal heartbeat to see if there is any problem.
