Tips for getting pregnant with your second child at 37 weeks

At 37 weeks of pregnancy, all the organs of the fetus have been fully developed. The height is about 46 cm, the weight is about 3000 grams, and the biparietal diameter of the fetus is about 8 cm. Because the physical fitness of each pregnant woman is different, the size of the fetus is also different. So what are the tips for starting the second child at 37 weeks of pregnancy? Let's talk about it briefly below.

What are the tips for starting the second pregnancy at 37 weeks?

1. Can I choose to give birth naturally for the second child? The success rate of natural delivery after a caesarean section is 60-80%, but once the uterus ruptures, the rate of hysterectomy and perinatal mortality will continue to rise. Therefore, for pregnant women who intend to have a natural birth after a caesarean section, they must undergo sufficient pre-delivery evaluation by a doctor, be suitable for natural delivery, and choose a hospital with standardized delivery management methods and emergency plans for delivery.

2. The chances of having a caesarean section for the second baby? If you choose to have a caesarean section again, it is not suitable to do it too early, as the newborn baby is more likely to have complications such as respiratory infections; but it is not suitable to do it too late, as it is easy to cause uterine rupture before and after delivery. It is recommended to have an elective cesarean section one week earlier than the due date. If bilateral fallopian tube sterilization is required, please inform the attending physician before the operation.

Main manifestations before delivery at 37 weeks of pregnancy

24-48 hours before delivery, some mucus mixed with blood will be discharged from the vagina, which is called spotting during pregnancy. This is because the lower segment of the uterus and the cervix expand, the surrounding placenta and endometrium separate, the capillaries rupture and bleed, and the blood mixes with the mucus in the cervix to produce bloody mucous secretions, which is a more reliable sign of labor.

Pregnant women usually give birth at 40 weeks of pregnancy. However, if labor symptoms appear at 37 weeks, the baby can be delivered successfully. However, premature birth is inevitable. Therefore, children born at 37 weeks of pregnancy should be taken care of as much as possible. You can feed the baby more often, let the baby eat small meals frequently, and enhance the baby's immunity.
