With the arrival of the due date, expectant mothers will pay attention to the delivery time. Pregnant mothers need to understand that the due date is an estimated time period for delivery, not the absolute time of the baby's birth. It is normal for pregnant women to give birth 1 to 2 weeks earlier or later than the due date.
During the due date, expectant mothers need to regularly go to the hospital to check their physical condition, among which it is essential to check the maturity of the placenta. So, is it normal for the placenta to have a second grade after the due date?
1. When the placenta reaches the second stage, the fetus has already developed and matured, and it is normal for the placenta to reach the second stage after the due date. During this period, expectant mothers should avoid nervousness and relax their mindset. It is recommended to pay attention to healthy diet in daily life, have a reasonable diet, supplement nutritious foods appropriately, and avoid spicy and stimulating foods as well as cold and hard foods. Appropriate activities will help with childbirth, and it is recommended that expectant mothers increase their walking to enhance their physical fitness.
2. Two weeks before and after the due date, it is recommended that expectant mothers actively observe physical changes, undergo prenatal check ups on time, do a good job of B-ultrasound monitoring, check placental function and fetal heart rate monitoring. Pregnant mothers can also self test fetal movement to determine fetal status. At the same time, it is important to observe the body's secretions regularly. If there is regular abdominal pain, contractions, or redness, it may indicate that childbirth is imminent. It is necessary to promptly go to the hospital for a comprehensive evaluation of the cervix, and prepare daily necessities for the pregnant mother and newborn according to personal circumstances. Rest assured and wait for the birth of the baby.
