What are the signs of childbirth in the late pregnancy?

Pregnancy and childbirth are big events for every woman and every family. With the arrival of the due date, the signs of labor become the most concerned topic for expectant mothers, especially for first-time mothers. Due to lack of experience, they rush to the hospital at the slightest sign of labor in the late pregnancy. Often, the pregnant mother is exhausted before the fetus even starts to move. Knowing the signs of labor in advance will help pregnant mothers to have an idea and reduce unnecessary troubles. So, what are the signs of impending birth a few days before? To sum up, there are the following points:

1. Lower abdominal drop: When giving birth, the baby starts to move downward, and the expectant mother will have a feeling of lower abdominal drop. I felt it deeply. I found that my pants were a little unstable during those days and kept falling down. As a result, the baby was born naturally after a few days.

2. Increased uterine contractions: There are true uterine contractions and false uterine contractions. Pregnant mothers must distinguish between false uterine contractions and true uterine contractions. If there are regular and gradually increasing true contractions, it is a sign that birth is imminent.

3. Start to see blood: When the cervix slowly opens, a small amount of bloody mucus will be discharged from the vagina. If there is a small amount of light blood, pregnant mothers can pay close attention. If the amount of blood exceeds the menstrual volume and is accompanied by abdominal pain, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

4. Discharge of mucus: Vaginal secretions increase, and the secretions are generally white and sticky. Expectant mothers should pay attention to the increase in vaginal mucus, as it is very likely that the baby is about to be born!

5. Rupture of amniotic fluid: In order to allow the fetus to be born, the uterus will gradually open, the pressure in the uterine cavity will also increase, causing the fetal membrane to rupture, and the amniotic fluid will begin to flow out.

6. Decreased fetal movement: As the due date approaches, the number of fetal movements will decrease, and the movements will not be as violent as before.

7. Low back pain: The pressure from the descending fetus will compress the nerves in the pelvis, leading to low back pain, back pain, cramps and other phenomena.

8. Increased urination frequency: As the fetus begins to move downward, it presses on the bladder, thereby reducing the bladder's urine storage capacity, so the urge to urinate increases. Pregnant women already urinate frequently during pregnancy, but the frequency of urination is even higher before delivery.
