41 weeks of pregnancy - no precursors

When a pregnant woman looks forward to the onset of labor after the onset of the fortieth week, and the harbingers do not all appear, this is usually a cause for concern. Immediately there is a certainty in perenashivanii child and fear that it can harm him or herself.

If there has come 41 weeks of pregnancy, and there are no precursors of childbirth, you should consult a gynecologist for advice. In most cases, the doctor will calm you down, explaining that if 41 weeks of pregnancy has gone, but there is no labor activity, then there is the probability of an incorrect definite period, or there are other reasons.

Types of masturbation

There are two types of overstretching - true (biological) and false (prolonged pregnancy). We will deal in turn with each of these types of repetition.

At true perenashivanii the fetus on the forty first week of pregnancy continues the development, reaching thus more and higher degree of a maturity. Such a child will be born with signs of "overripe". What does it mean? As is known, throughout the pregnancy, the fetus feeds and breathes through the placenta. It is through the blood flow along it that all the necessary substances come to the child. And through it all the products of exchange are removed.

Up to a certain point the placenta grows, develops, matures. At the time of 41 weeks of pregnancy with a true overstimulation, the placenta begins to "age" - it decreases in size and regresses. Accordingly, it is no longer able to fully meet the growing needs of the fetus. As a result, the metabolism worsens. Fetal hypoxia comes - lack of oxygen, as a result, the fetus may die. Therefore, if at 41 weeks of pregnancy you feel that the child is quiet, immediately consult a doctor. Since even at the 41st week of pregnancy, the perturbations should be felt, despite the fact that the child is already crowded.

False perenashivanie proceeds quite differently - at the time of 41 weeks of pregnancy the child develops completely normal, being born without signs of "overripe". However, the placenta does not age and does not regress.

Reasons for false retention:

So, what to do if there is 41 weeks of pregnancy, and the precursors of childbirth are still not observed? First, do not panic, the child feels your mood - do not forget about it. It is necessary to consult a gynecologist, who will conduct a set of necessary studies, on the basis of which it will determine which of the above-described types of overdrafting takes place.

A special reason for going to the doctor - if on The 41st week of pregnancy you have pain and pulls your stomach. Also, guarding should reduce the circumference of the abdomen by five to ten centimeters, a decrease in motor activity of the fetus, a lack of gain in weight.

If the doctor determines a true pregnancy overdose at the 41st and 42nd week of pregnancy, he will prescribe stimulation of labor to minimize the risk of complications and pathologies in the child and mother.

In most cases, with the timely access for help to a doctor, it is possible to avoid any negative consequences of masturbation of pregnancy, especially if the repetition is false.
