By the end of pregnancy, every woman faces various phenomena that make her think about when the birth will begin, and for this it is necessary to know what signs characterize their approach. After all, sometimes "ailment" can testify to the first signs of the approaching genera. As a rule, the following signs are indicative of early signs of rapid delivery:
- The stomach sank . In primiparous women such a symptom is immediately noticeable: thus, it becomes more difficult for many to sit and walk, and to breathe on the contrary - it is easier. This is because the baby's head is already in the small pelvis and the baby is ready to be born.
- Constipation has disappeared . By the end of pregnancy, the intestines are affected by hormones, and the fetus is more pressing on the urea and rectum. All this relaxes the cervix and smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract. As a result of such phenomena, the stool becomes lighter, and a woman can mix up the onset of labor with poisoning. Such signs of approaching birth may appear a week before the baby's birth.
- Missing appetite . Along with this phenomenon, there may be a slight weight loss, as well as the disappearance of puffiness. This phenomenon is due to the fact that the body tries to get rid of excess substances. Thus, the body is able to accumulate strength for childbirth and not spend it on digestion.
- The kid behaves quietly . Most women notice a decrease in fetal activity before childbirth. Just the baby is already cramped in the womb and it moves only when it really is needed.
- The mood changes every minute . A pregnant woman can burst into tears for any reason or laugh at a very inopportune moment. A woman can suddenly appear fatigue or vice versa - a strong charge of energy.
- Desire for peace . The organism independently adjusts the pregnant woman to rest and respite from relatives and friends, so that a woman can gain strength before giving birth. So if at some point there was a desire to retire, then this is one of the first signs of the approaching birth.
- Pain in the back increased . This symptom is associated with the displacement of crumbs down the abdomen, as a result of which the sacroiliac connective tissue is stretched and the main load falls on the coccyx and the lower back.
- There were training fights . Such fights are so strong that they can be felt. They deliver unpleasant pain and are irregular. Though such fights are not the beginning of birth, but such a symptom is their harbinger.
- Strange allocation . If at the end of pregnancy vaginal discharge appeared from the vagina, then, most likely, it is a mucous plug . She can go out like two weeks before the birth, and for a couple of days. And in some cases, the cervical mucus leaves only during childbirth. If there are discharge of yellowish color with an admixture of blood, then it is worthwhile to see a doctor for advice for further action.
- The cervix softens . Such a sign can only be seen by a gynecologist when examining a pregnant woman on the chair. Usually this phenomenon occurs closer to the fortieth week of pregnancy.
Signs of approaching labor in primiparous
In primiparous and reproductive women, the signs of approaching the birth are slightly different. This is due to the fact that the primogenitors do not know how the organism behaves before delivery, in contrast to the already experienced mothers. Usually women who have their first pregnancy do not pay attention to the precursors of childbirth, since they take them for ailment provoked by any reasons.
Signs of approaching births in re-occurring
In women giving birth, the uterus is able to react more quickly to hormonal stimuli, as a result of which in many reproductive women the signs of the approach of labor are expressed more clearly and may appear at an earlier time than in the first-birth mothers. Sometimes harbingers can appear a day or two before giving birth, so you should listen carefully to your body and not miss such "bells" about approaching births.
