What if I am still pregnant at 39 weeks?

Many women are worried if the fetus has not entered the pelvis at 39 weeks of pregnancy. This is because if the fetus cannot enter the pelvis as soon as possible during this period, it will cause serious harm to the health of the fetus. Therefore, many pregnant women who have not entered the pelvis during this period want to know what is going on. The following will introduce what is going on if the fetus has not entered the pelvis at 39 weeks of pregnancy. You can have a comprehensive understanding of it.

The doctor will tell you whether the fetus has entered the pelvis by feeling the condition of the fetus. If it has entered the pelvis, you need to pay attention to the symptoms before delivery at any time. If you have any questions, feel free to talk to the examining doctor. The time it takes for the fetus to enter the pelvis varies from person to person. For some, it may enter around 32 weeks, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're about to give birth. For others, it may enter just when they're about to give birth. It's all possible.

If the fetus has not entered the pelvis at 38 weeks of pregnancy, you should go to the hospital to check whether there are factors that may affect the entry into the pelvis, such as: the fetus is too large, pelvic abnormalities, cephalopelvic disproportion, amniotic fluid conditions, etc. If all the examinations are normal, it is normal that the fetus has not entered the pelvis. But there is no better way to deal with it artificially, so just let nature take its course. If it is the second child, most of the time the fetus enters the pelvis before delivery.

The time of engagement of the fetus into the pelvis is from the 36th week of pregnancy to before the onset of labor pains. Most primiparas engage the fetus in the pelvis two weeks before the expected date of delivery, while most multiparas engage the fetus before the onset of labor pains. However, for some women, the engagement of the fetus may be later due to their own, mental, environmental and other factors. If the fetal presenting part fails to engage the fetus into the pelvis for a long time, the possibility of cephalopelvic disproportion should be considered, which is one of the causes of dystocia. It is recommended that you continue to observe and have regular prenatal examinations.

What happens if the fetus hasn't entered the pelvis at 39 weeks of pregnancy? If it hasn't entered the pelvis during this period, it is relatively dangerous, so you should go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination as soon as possible to see what the cause is. Then, through rapid treatment and improvement, you can ensure the health of the baby in your body by allowing the fetus to enter the pelvis as soon as possible during this period.
