What are the signs before childbirth?

As the fetus matures and the due date approaches, the expectant mother's physical condition, mental and psychological state will change. Some common symptoms are also seen as signals of the arrival of delivery, such as the fetal head entering the pelvis, uterine contractions, water breaking, and spotting.

What are the main signs before giving birth?

1. Reduce upper abdominal pressure

First-time mothers may experience this change 1-2 weeks before delivery. At this time, as the fetal head descends into the pelvis, the pressure in the abdominal cavity gradually decreases, the upper abdomen is liberated, the expectant mother's breathing becomes lighter, and her appetite increases.

2. Lower abdominal distension

As the fetal head moves downward, the pressure on the bladder, rectum and other tissues below the uterus increases further. The expectant mother may often have a noticeable feeling of heaviness, frequent urination, back pain and other discomforts.

3. False labor

5. 20 disposable hip pads (a urinary catheter will be inserted during surgery, and the hip pads prevent lochia from seeping down; they can also be used to clean the vulva);

6. Special sanitary napkins for pregnant women (usually after the catheter is removed, lochia continues and needs to be used);

7. 10 pairs of breast pads or 4 small towels (after delivery, colostrum will be secreted in about three days. Use breast pads or small towels to prevent clothes and sheets from getting dirty);

8. Breast pump (especially useful for mothers who have milk blockage, wound pain, or difficulty in feeding their babies);

9. Two straws ( two days after surgery, pain may make it impossible to sit or stand, take medicine or drink soup).

Giving birth is a very thrilling thing for women, especially in the days before the due date, when you don’t know when the baby will be born. It is very necessary for women to identify the signs before giving birth.
