If a pregnant mother has these feelings, she is actually telling you that the fetus in the belly is in the basin, so don’t be careless
I believe that many pregnant mothers are very familiar with the fetus entering the pelvis. This is a problem that expectant mothers are very concerned about after 36 weeks of pregnancy, because in the impression of many people, as long as the fetus enters the pelvis, it means that it is about to be born, which is also a problem. It is a good sign to be able to give birth naturally, so many mothers are very concerned about whether the fetus is in the pelvis, but is this really the case?
The so-called pelvic entry means that in the third trimester of pregnancy, the fetal head enters the pelvic cavity through the maternal pelvic entrance, and the fetal position is relatively fixed. Entering the pelvis is a prelude to childbirth. Generally, it will enter the pelvis around 38 weeks of pregnancy, then the fetal head will enter the pelvis. What kind of phenomenon will there be?
1. Changes in the shape of the belly
The mother-to-be will clearly feel the position of the fetus is falling, and the shape of the belly will gradually become smaller, as if from a watermelon to a grapefruit.
2. Falling pain
After the fetus enters the pelvis, it will press on the genitals and sacrum of the expectant mother, so most mothers will feel pain in the lower body.
3. Fetal movement decreased
Fetal movement will be relatively less than before. However, in the period of more fetal movements, the number of fetal movements per hour is still more than 3 times. If it is less than 3 times per hour, the mother can add 1 hour, and 6 times of fetal movement in 2 hours is enough. If it is less than this standard, it means that there may be fetal hypoxia, and you must go to the hospital in time for further examination by the doctor. But mothers don't have to worry too much, because the baby may sometimes sleep longer, or the fetal movement is not too active. For example, if the fetal movement is not obvious in the morning, you can check whether the fetal movement in the afternoon is normal. If the fetal movement is normal in the afternoon, it means that the child has no major problems.
4. Frequent urination
Under normal circumstances, after the fetal head enters the pelvis, it will press on the mother's bladder, which usually causes the mother to have symptoms of frequent urination.
5. Breathe easily and have a better appetite
When the fetus descends, the pressure of the uterus on the organs will be significantly reduced, especially the upper organs such as the heart, lungs, and stomach will gradually return to normal functions. The mother will not have the same great pressure as before, but will feel more and more The easier it is, the easier it will be to breathe, and the more you will have a better appetite. However, mothers must keep their mouths under control. Many expectant mothers do not control their diet in the last few weeks of pregnancy, resulting in instant weight gain.
6. Irregular contractions
After the fetus enters the pelvis, it will compress the cervix, so expectant mothers may experience symptoms such as false contractions such as abdominal tightness. However, the duration of these contractions is usually less than half a minute, and it is irregular, the interval is irregular, and the strength is relatively weak. The actual labor contractions are very regular lower abdominal pains. The doctor helped to summarize a good solution: three "more and more". That is: contractions that are longer in duration, shorter in interval, and stronger in intensity.
7. It is best not to climb stairs
Because when climbing stairs, people's knees need to bend, and the pressure they bear is three times that of normal walking, and expectant mothers have a lot of burden in their stomachs. Climbing stairs will put a lot of pressure on the knees, which will cause great damage to the knee joints. big. In addition, climbing stairs will increase the pressure on the lumbar spine and abdomen of expectant mothers, aggravating back pain. The most important thing is that it is easy to fall when climbing stairs. If you accidentally fall, the consequences will be disastrous.
The potting time mentioned above is just a general rule, and everyone has certain differences. In fact, whether the fetus is in the pelvis and when it is in the pelvis is really not that important. Because even if it is not in the pelvis, as long as there are regular contractions, the fetal head will also enter the pelvis soon, and then give birth; those who have entered the pelvis will still not give birth without contractions. And whether the fetus is in the pelvis is not necessarily related to whether it can be delivered naturally or not. Therefore, on the one hand, the fetus entering the pelvis means that the delivery is approaching, and the mother-to-be can make preparations in all aspects according to this signal to welcome the arrival of the baby. On the other hand, if the fetus is not in the pelvis, expectant mothers need not worry too much.
