Increased bowel movement at 39 weeks of pregnancy

The frequency of bowel movements increases during the 39th week of pregnancy, which is a situation that every pregnant mother will encounter, but there is no need to panic. Considering the late stage of pregnancy, the more likely possibility is that the due date has arrived. If combined with regular uterine contractions, then it is even more likely that the delivery date has arrived. All pregnant women who are 39 weeks pregnant need to pay attention to their physical condition, make time arrangements, pay close attention to the due date and the arrival of delivery date, and consult a doctor for more information.

Generally speaking, in the early stages of pregnancy, if you have a slightly more frequent urination, it is likely to be directly related to the enlarged uterus compressing the bladder. If you have frequent bowel movements, it is likely to be directly related to gastrointestinal discomfort. Pregnant women may experience slower intestinal motility, abdominal bloating, constipation and other symptoms due to the growth of the fetus and physiological changes.

After pregnancy, the uterus gradually grows larger and presses forward on the bladder, and the capacity of the bladder becomes smaller and smaller. So when the urine accumulates to a certain level, you will feel the urge to urinate and go to the bathroom frequently, but it is only a trickle, not as surging as before. The same situation also occurs in the large intestine. Once the large intestine is stimulated, there is a feeling of urge to defecate.

The 39th week of pregnancy is the late stage of pregnancy and the due date is approaching. If you experience abdominal pain and increased frequency of bowel movements, it is considered to be caused by false labor before delivery. This is a sign of impending delivery. If there are regular and gradually increasing uterine contractions accompanied by abdominal pain, and the abdominal pain lasts for more than 30 seconds every 5 to 6 minutes, it means that labor is approaching and you should go to the hospital for examination in time.

Suggestions:

1. In normal circumstances, you should strengthen your nutrition but avoid stress. Consider calculating the expected date of delivery. It is also recommended to avoid catching a cold. Consider preparing for delivery. It is also recommended to avoid spicy food to avoid catching a cold.

2. Pay attention to rest and observe more. If the abdominal pain worsens and is accompanied by bleeding, it is a sign of labor and you can seek medical attention in time.

3. Appropriate activities should be done in the early stages of pregnancy to promote blood circulation, increase muscle tension, and reduce symptoms such as abdominal distension caused by slow gastrointestinal motility. In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, you should sleep in the left side lying position. Generally no medication is required.
