Many people know what the due date is. But the due date is only a rough estimate, and no one can accurately know their own production time. However, before giving birth, women's bodies may exhibit some abnormal conditions that can indicate to pregnant women that they are about to give birth. So, how do pregnant women know when they will give birth?
When a pregnant woman approaches her due date and experiences regular contractions and amniotic fluid rupture, it is highly likely that she is about to give birth. In fact, a few weeks before delivery, pregnant women may experience irregular contractions of the uterus that last for a short period of time. This is pseudo labor pain and there are no signs of childbirth. If there are regular contractions and the abdominal pain persists for a longer period of time, and the pregnant woman feels that the lower abdomen is harder, then it is time to give birth.
Breaking water refers to the rupture and outflow of amniotic fluid caused by increased uterine pressure in women before giving birth. Many pregnant women experience uterine contractions after breaking water, and it is important to promptly take them to the hospital for delivery. If there is a decrease in amniotic fluid in the uterus of a pregnant woman, it can pose a risk of fetal asphyxia. So on the way to the hospital, pregnant women need to lie flat to slow down the flow of amniotic fluid from the uterus.
Pregnant women may experience a small amount of vaginal bleeding in the lower body within 24 hours before delivery. This is due to the opening of the cervix, which separates the membranes from the uterine wall, causing capillary rupture and leading to guided bleeding. So, pregnant women must be mentally prepared before giving birth. When there are situations such as water breakthrough or vaginal bleeding, do not panic, and calm down in a timely manner to go to the hospital for delivery.
