37 weeks is a watershed. Be especially careful, rest more and eat healthily 37 weeks ago. After 37 weeks, we will redouble our exercise, exercise, control our diet, make full preparations for production and lay a solid physical foundation. What difficulties and challenges do I face in the third trimester? What are the precautions and suggestions? I hope my personal experience can provide some reference for you who are pregnant mothers.
In the third trimester of pregnancy, because the stomach is getting bigger and bigger, the upper abdomen compresses the bladder, and pregnant women generally have symptoms such as anorexia, nausea and vomiting, frequent urination and urgency. Because my position is relatively low, I didn't reach my stomach, and I had a good appetite in the third trimester. The quality of sleep drops sharply. I have to go to the toilet three or four times at night, and there is no room for my stomach. How to lie down is uncomfortable, and turning over has become a difficult action. Chest tightness, shortness of breath, backache, numbness of hands and feet, these are my discomfort symptoms in the third trimester. Talking while walking, panting. I can't breathe at all when I lie on my back, so I can only lie on my left and right sides. As a result, the muscles on both sides of my hips are extremely sore. The result of lying on your side is nerve compression and poor blood circulation, which leads to numbness, edema and pain in your hands and feet. By the end of pregnancy, my hands, feet, face and body were swollen and I could only laugh it off.
The most worrying thing in the third trimester is that the umbilical cord wraps around the neck, which leads to the danger of hypoxia in the baby. B-ultrasound can clearly see the umbilical cord around the neck. If the B-ultrasound shows a U-shaped mark, it means that the neck is wound once, and if it shows a W-shaped mark, it means that the neck is wound twice. At 32 weeks of pregnancy, I found a B-ultrasound on my neck. The doctor said it was normal. Many people have put their necks around once, and now the moon is not very big, so they may come out. Once you find around the neck, you must insist on counting fetal movements every day. The correct counting method of fetal movement is one hour in the morning, one hour in the middle and one hour in the evening, each fetal movement is more than three times, indicating normal, and the fetal movement is counted once continuously. If the fetal movement is too little or too strong, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. After 36 weeks of pregnancy, I did a B-ultrasound, and I didn't find anything around my neck. The baby came out by itself, and we were all very happy.
After 34 weeks of pregnancy, the obstetrician asked me to start fetal heart monitoring once a week. Every routine physical examination, the doctor will use Doppler fetal heart rate to measure our fetal heart rate. This value reflects the real-time fetal heart rate, and we can also hear the baby's strong heartbeat, which is the most beautiful music throughout pregnancy. Fetal heart monitoring is to monitor the baby's fetal heart for a period of time. It is the healthiest to have ups and downs. Every time the baby moves, there will be a small wave, and more than three waves are basically qualified. If the heart rate image is as flat as a straight line, the doctor will suggest walking, taking oxygen and trying to make the baby move.
Babies born before 37 weeks are premature, but after 34 weeks, the baby's cardiopulmonary function is basically fully developed, and the baby born at that time can also adapt to the external environment. Because of my physical condition, the doctor said that my risk of premature delivery was higher than that of normal people, and told me to rest more and exercise less before term. I was worried about premature delivery throughout pregnancy. I almost always count the cycles. Every week passes, I feel closer to the finish line. After 30 weeks, I can feel the baby's regular fetal movement every day, sometimes playing an ode to joy like a symphony, and sometimes jumping up and down like a construction team. This wonderful fetal movement has strengthened my belief again and again, so that I no longer worry about the risk of premature birth.
D- dimer was my nightmare throughout my pregnancy. If this indicator is not high, my whole pregnancy is still very smooth. I am almost 38 weeks pregnant, and I am in good health except for the discomfort that usually occurs during pregnancy. Because this index is too high in the early pregnancy, heparin was injected for nearly two months before it slowly returned to normal level. The blood test at 32 weeks of pregnancy found that this index was too high, so I began to enter the days of weekly blood test, weekly routine examination and heparin injection every day. Today, I have been given heparin injection for nearly a month, and my arm is swollen and hard. Counting up, I had more than 100 injections during the whole pregnancy, which can really be described as "riddled with holes".
After pregnancy, I found that many pregnant women have a high index. When they go for injections, they often see other pregnant women injecting heparin. The level of D- dimer is an indicator of the strength of blood coagulation function. In order to avoid bleeding during childbirth, this index of pregnant women is generally higher than that of normal people, but if it is much higher than the normal index, there may be a risk of thrombosis, which is dangerous to both pregnant women and babies. Once this index is found to be too high during pregnancy, it must be controlled by injecting heparin and aspirin. The key is to follow the doctor's advice. As for why it is high, the doctor can't tell the specific reason. Generally, they will suggest a light diet, strengthen exercise, and especially reduce the intake of sodium.
I'm almost 38 weeks pregnant, and I'm going to have a baby. I feel that time flies. Although it feels extremely hard along the way, it is precious and a precious experience in my life. As the due date approaches, I am not anxious at all, but calm. I often fantasize about what situation I will launch. Did my amniotic fluid suddenly break when I was walking with Mr. W after dinner? Or when I concentrate on reading and writing, my stomach suddenly hurts? In any case, we have made full psychological preparations and look forward to the arrival of angels. I will share my personal views on production, parenting and growth.
Pregnancy is not the time for idleness and wanton waste. On the contrary, there are really many things you can do during pregnancy. Because of pregnancy, we have reduced a lot of work and life, but don't be lazy about our lives. Besides being a mother, we are ourselves. So use the opportunity of pregnancy to cultivate a hobby of your own. Many things I wanted to do before were given up because of the pressure of life, so I should do what I really want to do in my leisure time of pregnancy. In the third trimester, I still read a book every day, watched the best Oscar film, picked up my dream of writing, and changed to a big house by the way, which really built a warm home for my baby.
Women are weak, but mothers are strong. Every pregnant mother is eager to create the best conditions for the healthy birth of her baby. If conditions permit, of course, I will not hesitate to choose a natural delivery. But if conditions do not allow, caesarean section is also a good choice. If we can have a natural delivery, we will try our best to endure the pain without anesthesia, but we can't stand it, so we choose painless delivery. I am a staunch advocate of painless delivery, and I have also discussed with my family that if the pain is unbearable, I will take a painless injection immediately. I am also very happy to see that painless delivery is more and more popularized in society and hospitals, which is a great ideological progress. Whether it's a natural delivery or a caesarean section, you must first listen to the advice of the obstetrician, and then you must follow your own wishes.
I read a lot of idle books during pregnancy, but not many parenting books. I'm going to read more parenting books in the last time before giving birth to a baby to catch up on the knowledge of intimate parenting. Of course, as a plan controller, I have made myself a long list of parenting education books, waiting for me to systematically study and specialize in parenting knowledge in the long years to come, and share and communicate with you on the platform with my own personal experience. Of course, I will not give up my poetry and distance. I will read more literary works and books I want to read to improve my literary accomplishment. I always think reading is the most romantic education. If you are a mother who loves learning and reading, then your children will unconsciously fall in love with learning and reading under your influence.
I have a complete plan for the study of parenting knowledge. Health is at the top of the pyramid of life. As a pregnant mother, we must first read some books on health and wellness. Knowing more about health can give your family more protection. Secondly, we should read different kinds of books around four different stages of life: pregnancy, pregnancy, parenting and education, and the earlier we start to store relevant knowledge, so that when we really face the problem of parenting, we will not be in a hurry and at a loss. Some netizens asked me to recommend parenting books, so I shared my book list according to the above five topics. (At present, the reading on health, pregnancy preparation and pregnancy has been completed, and parenting education is the focus of reading in the next stage.)
