The arrival of a fetus in the womb means that the time for delivery is approaching again, so pregnant women need to make relevant preparations. Although facing the arrival of a fetus, for first-time pregnant women, they may not have much knowledge about entering the womb and may not know what it feels like. So, how can we determine whether the fetus has fully entered the womb?
To determine whether the fetus has fully entered the womb, one can look at some symptoms. After the fetus enters the womb, the pregnant woman's belly will look different from usual, with the belly slightly lower and harder to touch. Moreover, uterine contractions may also occur at this time, but they are pseudo contractions that are generally irregular, weak in strength, and have a short duration. Pregnant women should pay attention to distinguishing them from true uterine contractions.
After the fetus enters the womb, the fetal position decreases, reducing the pressure on the body organs. Therefore, pregnant women will feel much easier to breathe, have a better appetite, and eat more. If you want to confirm whether the fetus has entered the womb, it can also be determined through prenatal examination.
The fetus entering the womb is not immediately about to give birth, but it is closer to the time of delivery. There are differences in the timing of the fetus entering the womb, with most entering at around 36 weeks, and some pregnant women waiting until delivery before entering the womb. If a pregnant woman shows signs of labor, such as redness, amniotic fluid rupture, or true uterine contractions, she should go to the hospital as soon as possible for delivery.
