Fewer night wakings in late pregnancy

As we all know, pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy will experience symptoms such as missed menstruation, constant sleepiness, vomiting, mood swings, frequent urination and urgency. In the third month of pregnancy, the bladder is compressed by the expanding uterus, causing the bladder volume to shrink, resulting in frequent urination. But why do pregnant women no longer have frequent urination or urgency when they are 38 weeks pregnant?

Why don't I urinate frequently or urgently at 38 weeks of pregnancy?

Frequent urination and urgency are caused by compression of the fetal head as it enters the pelvis. If you don't put it in the bowl, it's not easy to have frequent urination and urgency. Unless it is a urinary and reproductive system infection. Because the bladder is compressed by the expanding uterus, the volume of the bladder decreases, and frequent urination always occurs.

At 38 weeks, which is the late stage of pregnancy, the fetus should feel frequent urination and urgency due to pressure on the bladder. Otherwise, the fetus may not have entered the cervix or the urethra has been infected.

Common problems in late pregnancy

1. No need to be picky about food or restrict your diet;

2. Detection of fetal movement: After entering the late pregnancy, the intensity of fetal movement will gradually weaken, but because many pregnant women lack certain medical knowledge, they are afraid that the weakening of fetal movement is caused by some problems with the child. In the later stages of pregnancy, pregnant women should pay attention to the number of fetal movements, not the height of the baby's fetal movements. Because in the late stage, after the baby grows bigger, the body is only bent, and the uterus has no extra space for the fetus to move in the mother's belly. Therefore, it is normal for the fetal movement to become weaker.

3. Loose clothing: In the late pregnancy, the shoes should be loose and soft. Because during this period, the feet tend to swell slightly. The clothes should be loose and comfortable. Use cloth bras. In order to prevent synthetic fiber bras from causing friction and fiber penetration of the breasts, affecting future milk production. Do not apply alcohol to the nipples, because alcohol will make the skin too dry, causing nipple lacerations and hindering breastfeeding.

4. The best sleeping position for pregnant women is to sleep on their left side! In the late pregnancy, pregnant women should sleep on their left side, which can turn the right-rotated uterus into an upright position, thereby reducing the resulting abnormal fetal position and delivery. It can also prevent the uterus from compressing the inferior vena cava, increase the cardiac output of pregnant women, reduce edema, improve the blood supply to the uterus and embryo, help reduce premature births, prevent the uterus from compressing the kidney function, and thus benefit the development and eugenics of the fetus.

In the late pregnancy, the fetus's head should have entered the calf and will compress the pregnant woman's bladder. At this time, the pregnant woman will urinate frequently and urgently. If she does not urinate frequently and urgently at 38 weeks of pregnancy, she should pay attention to whether the fetus has entered the calf. Otherwise, she should pay attention to whether the urethra is infected. In the late pregnancy, pregnant women should pay attention to their bodies to avoid being at a loss before sudden delivery. Don't panic during delivery, adjust your health and strive to give birth to the baby successfully.
