The so-called natural delivery means that in the third trimester, in order to be born smoothly, the baby must first find a delivery channel, so that the head enters the mother's pelvic cavity, the head is down, the hips are up, and the whole body is curled up.
What does it feel like to have a fetus in the basin?
Gastric morphological changes
Expectant mothers will feel that the position of the fetus is declining, and the shape of the stomach is like changing from watermelon to grapefruit! Although the belly is getting bigger, the expectant mother will not feel very tired and even relax.
Irregular contraction, but not labor contraction.
After the fetus enters the basin, it will compress the cervix, so the expectant mother may have symptoms of pseudo-contractions such as abdominal tightness, but the duration of this "pseudo-"contraction is usually less than half a minute, and it is irregular, irregular and weak. Real contractions are regular lower abdominal pain. The doctor helped sum up a good method: the duration of uterine contraction is getting longer and longer, the interval is getting shorter and shorter, and the intensity of labor pains is getting stronger and stronger.
The pain of falling becomes worse, accompanied by contractions.
After the fetus enters the basin, it will oppress the mother's genitals and sacrum, and you will feel a pain in the lower body. In the process of entering the basin, the expectant mother will feel the tightness of the abdomen, and there is a feeling of falling, feeling that the baby is falling. Abdominal contraction at this time is different from uterine contraction during delivery, and the duration of uterine contraction is short and weak. Therefore, after the fetus enters the basin, expectant mothers should try to avoid lifting heavy objects or doing heavy physical work to avoid premature rupture of membranes.
Frequent urination and constipation become heavier.
After the fetal head enters the basin, it will compress the bladder, which will generally lead to more obvious symptoms of frequent urination. After the fetus enters the basin, the fetal position will generally not change again. At this time, due to the squeezing of the fetal head in the expectant mother's pelvis, the expectant mother's intestine and bladder are obviously under pressure, and the pressure on the bladder and rectum will increase after the fetus descends, making it difficult for the bladder to store urine normally, and the expectant mother's frequent urination and constipation symptoms will be more serious.
