Here are the checks you need to do before birth

You will surely meet your doctor about every week during the pre - birth period. Do not be surprised if he performs one or more hip checks. These controls can help her confirm the fetus' position within the womb - head, leg, or standing below. Most fetuses are positioned upside down. As the birthday day approaches, the doctor can use terms such as “station” and “pieces exposed”. The latter is the medical term used for the body part of the fetus that is placed in the basin, and the term “station” explains how low the frame is. During their hip examinations, the doctor may control the cervix's neck to see how soft, enlarged, and thin it has been. This information will be sent to you in numbers and percentages. For example, a doctor may tell you that you are opening three inches [3 cm], as well as the cervix, has been reduced by 30 percent.

When the fetus is ready to emerge, its cervix extends 10 inches [10 cm] and weakens 100 percent. However, do not put too much faith in these figures. The cervix may remain open for several weeks, with up to three inches [3 cm] open, or birth pains may begin without any extension or dilation. However, cervical measurements allow a doctor to decide whether birth should be stimulated, of course if necessary.

When should you call?

During the last month of pregnancy, the following symptoms and symptoms require immediate medical attention.

vaginal bleeding. If you are bleeding more than one or two points this month, call the doctor immediately. This may be a sign of the Putnta's secession from the walls of the uterus and a serious problem. Do not confuse this type of bloodshed with what you had after hip control or the flow of red fluids.

Persistent and Strong stomach pain. If you have severe and persistent stomach pains, contact your doctor immediately. Although not very common, this may be another sign of the senta's secession. If you have fever and vaginal secretions besides pain, you are likely to have infection.

The baby's little moves. It is normal to reduce fetus movements before birth. It seems to be resting and gathering energy for the big day. However, the number of movements should not be greatly reduced. This may indicate that something is wrong. To control your fetus' movements, lie on the left side and count every time it moves. If you notice fewer than four movements per hour, call your doctor.

What if the foretold date of birth has passed? The date of birth has come and passed as you continue to be pregnant. What's going on? After all, the date is simply an opinion or prediction of when a child might be born. It is quite normal for him to be born a week or two before or even after the appointed date. In fact, pregnancy must continue two weeks after the date, to be officially delayed, or as it is otherwise known, the post - pregnancy period begins. You're more likely to have a delayed pregnancy if:

The date of the beginning of your last menstrual cycle is not known precisely. Thus, the projected date for birth may be wrong;

-it's the first pregnancy;

If you had previously delayed pregnancies;

Late pregnancies tend to happen in your family;

The child is a boy.

Rarely, a delayed pregnancy may be linked to the problems of placenta or even the child. You will continue with the checkups even if the pregnancy continues after the specified date to be born. Thus, the doctor will continue to monitor your health and that of the fetus. It will also control the cervix's neck to see if it has begun to dilate and expand, pending birth pains. If more than a week has passed since birth, a doctor can control his fetus' heart rate through an electronic monitor or use ultrasound to monitor its movements and measure the amount of amniotic fluid.

A little push. Sometimes it is better to have your baby early than late, especially if the doctor is concerned about your health or that of your child, or when the pregnancy lasts more than two weeks after the date of birth.

Why all this concern for two weeks? At this point in pregnancy, fetus size can complicate natural birth. In some cases, the aging placenta may endanger the fetus's ability to develop in its womb. In the case of a delayed pregnancy, a fetus may absorb fecal waste, which can cause respiratory or post - birth infection problems. If your pregnancy is delayed, the doctor can recommend malnourished, causing pain. To do so, he may provide medication that helps to soften and open the cervix's neck. If the amniotic bag is intact, the doctor may break the waters with a thin plastic hook. This process is not painful, but you can feel the water that flows down. If necessary, you may also receive drugs to promote contracting. A common choice is the pitocycin hormone, a synthetic version of the oxytocycin hormone, which causes cervical contractions. The dosage can be adjusted to regulate your flexibility and frequency of contracting.
