When behind 37 weeks of pregnancy and more and more expecting a meeting with her baby, a woman appears the harbingers of the forthcoming birth. These include pulling sensations in the lower back, heaviness when walking, frequent urge to urinate and defecate and lowering the abdomen before childbirth. If these signs appear, the woman will soon give birth.
My stomach fell when I give birth?
By 9 months of pregnancy, the stomach reaches a large size, it becomes more difficult to breathe, and digestive disorders (belching and heartburn) are tormented more and more often. And when at 9 months pregnant it becomes easier to breathe, appetite decreases and almost does not torment heartburn, then the stomach dropped. Abdominal abscess during pregnancy is associated with the progress and establishment of the fetus by the "presenting" part (the one that will first appear, more often the head) at the entrance to the small pelvis. What else does it mean if your stomach is down? - Abdominal collapse due to the lowering of the uterine fundus.
Abdominal abscess can be determined in a very simple way: to try to put a palm between the abdomen and the chest, if the stomach is lowered, then the palm will fit. It happens that a woman did not notice that the stomach was lowered, and the first one noticed by one of the relatives (mother, husband, girlfriend).
For how much does the stomach drop?
Young prospective mothers are concerned about the question: "When the abdomen of the primiparas falls." In primiparas, the abdomen falls for 2-3, and sometimes even 4 weeks before childbirth (approximately 36 weeks gestation). In re-birth, the abdomen falls several days before the birth (up to 7 days). If during the first pregnancy the stomach dropped at 37 weeks, the birth will begin on time at 39-40 weeks. But if the belly has lowered his belly for 35 weeks, then it's still not worth worrying, because the terms of lowering the abdomen for the first pregnancy are individual for each woman and this does not mean that problems can arise in childbirth. If the term of childbirth is coming, and the stomach is not lowered yet, then it is recommended to move more, it is not necessary to lead a passive lifestyle, as this can lead only to an excessive set of body weight. You can perform simple work around the house (cook, sweep, wash the floor), walks in the fresh air, too, no one canceled.
Why does not my stomach fall?
As mentioned earlier, abdominal dilation is a subjective symptom, and it is impossible to determine the exact date of birth. Therefore, if the abdomen has not descended in the primordial in the period of 37-38 weeks, then this is no reason to worry. The reasons for the non-abdominal bow before birth are obstetrician gynecologists consider: polyhydramnios, multiple pregnancies, and a large fetus. All these reasons prevent the child from taking the correct position in the uterus before giving birth and dropping into the cavity of the small pelvis.
What should I do if my stomach falls?
There are no special recommendations on this matter. The main thing is to have collected all the necessary things for a trip to the maternity hospital: for you and the baby. If there is a strong pain in the lower back, then you need to alternate physical activity with rest, it helps to relax the muscles of the back massage of the waist.
As we see, such a harbinger of birth, like the belly dipping during pregnancy, is not a constant sign of the approaching births. After lowering the abdomen to the delivery itself, it can take from 1 day to 3 weeks, so if you have studied all the information on the sites and forums and expect the stomach to drop by 36-37 a week, then do not panic if that did not happen. It must be remembered that your body is unique in its own way, and all the processes in it take place in a special way.
