For female friends who are pregnant for the first time, they should be anxious and at a loss. Many new expectant mothers do not understand many things and may choose to consult various materials to learn about childbirth in advance, which can avoid many situations where they are afraid because they do not understand. So, how many weeks of pregnancy does a expectant mother give birth to a baby before it's considered premature?
Delivery between 37 weeks and 42 weeks of pregnancy is called full-term delivery, which means delivery at 37 weeks is not considered premature, while delivery at 36 weeks plus 6 days is called premature. Premature delivery occurs when the pregnancy is between 28 weeks and 37 weeks. The process from the onset of labor to the complete delivery of the fetus and its appendages from the mother's body at 28 weeks or more of pregnancy is called delivery.
If there are signs of threatened premature birth before 37 weeks, such as redness, irregular uterine contractions, or premature rupture of membranes, fetal protection treatment should be given and pregnancy should be terminated in a timely manner. If symptoms of threatened premature birth occur before 34 weeks, pulmonary maturation should be promoted; Patients with premature rupture of membranes should be given antibiotics to prevent infection, rest in bed, maintain a good mood, abstain from sexual activity, and terminate pregnancy in a timely manner.
As long as the fetus reaches 37 weeks and all physiological indicators are normal, the chances of survival are almost 100%. Oligohydramnios or placental abnormalities can also lead to intrauterine hypoxia in the fetus. Pay close attention to fetal movement and go to the hospital for fetal heart rate monitoring every week after 37 weeks. If necessary, combined with ultrasound examination for comprehensive analysis, if abdominal pain occurs, go to the hospital for delivery in a timely manner.
