The uterus grows and changes as the fetus develops in the womb: it becomes more and more extensive, its size is almost constantly increasing. And if the stomach fell, when to give birth? Does this sign indicate that the baby will be born very soon?
Belly down: when to give birth?
There are many different signs that portend the imminent birth of a child. And if the stomach fell, when to give birth in this case? In fact, everything is very individual and depends on the structural features of the pregnant. But still there are average and approximate dates. So, it is believed that in most expectant mothers, the abdominal prolapse occurs approximately 2-4 weeks before the onset of labor. But it could be different.
The terms of omission depend on many features. For example, if a woman gives birth again, then there is a high probability that this will happen before the very birth or this process will not happen at all. And what about the primiparous? If her stomach fell, when to give birth to her? After about 3 weeks. But if the ligaments are too strong, then the omission will be inhibited, as in the case of an excessively narrow pelvis.
How to understand that this happened?
So, the woman's stomach fell. Through how much to give birth in such circumstances, it was written above. But many women are interested in: "How can you understand that this has already happened?" First you need to understand the essence of what is happening. So, the pregnant woman’s body and the baby in the last stages begin to actively prepare for the upcoming important event. The pelvic bones move apart, and the fetus, under its own weight, goes down, and its head takes its place in the pelvis, so that at any moment with the onset of labor, it begins to move along the birth canal. All this leads to the fact that the belly of the future mother is located quite low.
But how to determine what happened? There are some signs.
1. Try placing your palm between your stomach and chest. If it fits freely in this space, then most likely the omission has occurred.
2. The pregnant woman will notice that shortness of breath is gone, it becomes much easier to breathe, because the fetus ceases to put pressure on the lungs.
3. Since the baby ceases to exert pressure on the stomach, such unpleasant symptoms as heartburn and belching also disappear.
4. But the fetus begins to press on the pelvic organs, in particular, on the bladder. Because of this, urination becomes more frequent.
5. There is quite a lot of pressure on the intestines, which can cause a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen. But bowel movement is difficult.
6. The effect on the pelvic bones is greatly increased , so the expectant mother may feel very severe pains in the pelvic, perineal and pubic areas. They increase when walking.
7. Walking, sleeping and sitting becomes extremely uncomfortable.
You can only add that it is not necessary to assume that if the tummy has lowered, it means that very soon to give birth. In fact, this is not a signal of premature birth. And later, the omission does not mean that the baby will not be born soon. Everything for everyone happens differently, such is nature.
