Fetal movement pain in late pregnancy

Although there are pregnancy reactions such as nausea and vomiting, these are nothing to worry about. As long as you pay attention to rest and eat some appetizing foods, you can quickly get through the 3-4 months. However, in the late stages of pregnancy, mothers are the most difficult, because not only will there be edema in the lower limbs, but also pain in the lower body. As the fetus moves up and down, it will compress the mother's vagina and toe bones, which will cause pain.

Signs of labor include:

1. Feeling of the fetus descending: At this time, the pregnant woman feels that her breathing is lighter than before, her upper abdomen is more comfortable, and her food intake increases. Because the descending fetal head compresses the pelvis and bladder, pregnant women often have symptoms of frequent urination.

2. False labor: Before delivery begins, pregnant women often experience "false labor" of varying lengths. Its characteristics are: the intervals between contractions are irregular; the contractions are not severe, only slight distension and pain in the lower abdomen is felt, often occurring at night and disappearing in the early morning; the duration is short and not constant, generally not exceeding 30 seconds.

3. Spotting: When approaching delivery, some women may have a small amount of bloody secretions discharged from the vagina, which is called spotting. Sometimes, mucus plugs may also be discharged at the same time. Bloody show is a reliable sign that labor is about to begin. Most women go into labor within 24-48 hours. The amount of spotting is very small. If it exceeds the menstrual volume, you should consider whether there is bleeding in late pregnancy such as placenta previa.

5. Rupture of membranes: A large amount of fluid flows out of the vagina and cannot be controlled. Umbilical cord prolapse may occur easily after rupture of membranes, endangering the life of the fetus. Pregnant women should lie flat and go to the hospital immediately.
