A woman at the thirty-ninth week of pregnancy is already perfectly oriented in her sensations and can unmistakably determine any changes in her body. There are several signs that the moment of delivery will come soon:
- the future mummy may have secretions from the genital tract with an admixture of blood;
- the mucous plug may withdraw;
- in some cases there is a decrease in weight;
- there are cases when the stool becomes somewhat lighter than before;
- Appear more appetite.
The reason that 39 weeks of pregnancy hurts the lower back is that the fetus has already dropped very low into the pelvis. This can cause not only pain in the back, but also unpleasant sensations in the perineum. After the child has lowered, it becomes easier for a woman to breathe.
The appearance of vomiting at 39 weeks gestation may also indicate the approach of labor. It provokes hormones, stimulating labor. Quite often it happens that the second birth for a woman begins at 39 weeks. On the eve of childbirth, many women display the instinct of "nesting." At the same time, Mom starts taking care of the comfort for the future baby, makes every effort to make the place cozy for him.
The presence of these signs does not necessarily indicate that today or tomorrow you will be taken to the hospital. But if at least one of them has manifested itself, you should take a closer look at yourself, spend more time outdoors, but do not go far from home without documents. On the thirty-ninth week, at any moment, fights can begin. Childbirth at 39 weeks of gestation is an absolute norm.
To ensure that birth does not take you unawares, until this time the future mother should be collected all the things that can be useful in the hospital.
Fetal movement at 39 weeks gestation
At the thirty-ninth week of pregnancy the fetus is already fully formed and looks like an ordinary newborn baby. On the head grew hairs, on the handles and legs formed nails. The growth of the fetus slows down, but continues until the very birth. Strong perturbations at 39 weeks gestation disappear. The fetus is already large enough, its weight is from three to three and a half kilograms, and in the uterus he already has little space.
If you feel strong perturbations or, conversely, at 39 weeks of gestation the fetus subsides, then this is an occasion to consult a doctor. Any changes in the motor activity of the fetus may indicate the need for immediate therapy.
Sex at the 39th week of pregnancy
An unequivocal answer to the question whether it is possible to have sex in late pregnancy, doctors do not give. Each pair must decide on their own. Until recently, physicians argued that intimate intimacy, starting with the thirty-fourth week, can cause premature birth . The reason for this is that orgasm stimulates uterine contractions. Orgasm at 39 weeks of pregnancy is no longer frightening, births are already too close.
In this issue, you need to focus only on the state of health of a woman. Most women during this period are very tired, and they have no attraction to their spouse. In some cases, everything happens the other way around: a woman needs her man, she wants to feel loved and needed. The only contraindication to sex in the thirty-ninth week is the violation of the integrity of the amniotic fluid.
Sex before childbirth in many countries of Europe is considered to be the best stimulation for the onset of labor. Thus, the cervix is prepared for opening. The male secret contains the hormone prostaglandin, which prepares the uterus for childbirth. During sex, women have endorphins that have a mild anesthetic effect.
