40 weeks of pregnancy and no labor

The growth and development period of the fetus is 40 weeks. At 40 weeks, the embryo is fully mature. If the fetus has not started to move at this time, it is necessary to use measures to induce labor, otherwise the fetus will suffer from hypoxia if it stays in the uterus for a long time. It is best for expectant mothers to take active measures to induce labor at this time. There are many ways to induce labor. This article focuses on the methods of inducing labor through exercise and diet therapy.

1. Sports stimulates birth

If there is no movement by the due date, the expectant mother should increase her exercise. Upright exercise can help the fetus enter the pelvis, while also exercising the pelvic floor muscles and increasing labor force. However, when going out for exercise, you need to find a "bodyguard" in case of sudden "emergency situations".

Walking Walking is the most suitable form of exercise in the late pregnancy. Walking can allow you to breathe fresh air. In the late stages of pregnancy, walking can help the fetus descend into the pelvis, relax the pelvic ligaments, and prepare for delivery. When taking a walk, you should walk, massage, talk to your child, and listen to the singing of birds and the chirping of crickets with him.

Walking time: Walking can be arranged twice a day, morning and evening, each time for about 30 minutes, or three times a day, morning, noon and evening, each time for 20 minutes. Walking place: It is best to choose a quiet place for walking, without pollutants around. Do not walk on the roadside, as car exhaust will bring you too much lead.

Gymnastics Prenatal gymnastics is very popular abroad. Gymnastics can not only promote the fetal head into the pelvis, but also increase the toughness and elasticity of the pelvic floor muscles.

Pony stance: Hold the edge of the table with your hands, stand steadily with your feet, slowly bend your knees, lower your pelvis, and naturally separate your legs and knees until they are fully bent. Then, stand up slowly and push up with your feet until your legs and pelvis are upright. Repeat several times.

Waist exercise: Hold the back of the chair with your hands, inhale slowly, use your arms to exert force, stand on your toes, straighten your waist, and keep your lower abdomen close to the back of the chair. Then exhale slowly, relax your arms and return your feet to their original position. Do this 5 to 6 times in the morning and evening.

Pelvic exercise: Get on your hands and knees, inhale and bend your back, exhale while raising your head and leaning your upper body back, repeat 10 times.

Vaginal muscle exercise: Lie on your back, slowly contract your vaginal muscles, pull your buttocks up, count to five, then slowly lower yourself, repeat 10 times.

Strength exercise: Lie on your back, take a deep breath, then exhale long and hard while pushing down.

Climbing stairs: You can often hear doctors say to expectant mothers who have passed their due date but have not yet given birth: "Go climb the stairs!" Climbing stairs can exercise the muscles of the thighs and buttocks, which can help the fetus enter the pelvis and bring about the first stage of labor as soon as possible.

You can climb the stairs in the apartment building at ordinary times, and find a small hill to walk around in the afternoon. There are many trees on the hill. 2 to 4 pm is the time when the grass and trees release oxygen. Expectant mothers can get some oxygen by climbing the hill. If you feel tired, take a rest in time. When going down the stairs, pay attention to your step and be safe.
