Family Tree It seems soon to give birth all about the forerunners, in vain alarms and doubts

The yard was the end of December, the New Year. Festive turmoil enveloped me from head to feet. I am worked on shopping in search of gifts, dragged packages, brought the houses of the comfort. And since it was free, nounted with a niece, which I raised a couple of times. In short, I completely forgot that already "decently" pregnant (36 weeks - a huge belly). Forgot that gravity and physical exertion I am prohibited! Well, as a result, the stomach dropped ahead of time.

How did I understand it? At the courses of the VNAM told how to check the omission of the abdomen. If the palm does not fit into the space between the breast and the stomach, it means everything is fine. And if it all completely, the stomach fell. I got this way. Never had a palm, but after raising the niece, he dropped sharply.

I went to the planned reception to the gynecologist Oksana Mikhailovna, and then she said: "Dear, yes you can give birth today!" I was prescribed a strict bed mode, "lie and persist. To do nothing". Honestly, I spoke a little. After all, at 36 week, the child is considered premature. I came home, upset told all my husband. What he grinned: "Do you get upset? I would be happy if I was told to lie and do nothing! ". Of course, I was not upset from what I need to lie all the time, but simply was not ready for childbirth, to a meeting with the child. And of course, I worried about the health of my baby. But the husband cursed me, reassured. He said that the child will be born then when he should be. That's how I lay a week at home in bed, watched movies, read books. Now I remember that all: Eh, carefree time was!

From about 36-37 weeks, I started training bouts. It is very difficult to explain in sensations. They can be described as a lung butterfly flush in the abdomen. Take, let go, will take, let go. It does not hurt, but exciting!

You can describe yourself as an elephant in the dishwasher. The gait resembles a pendulum, when walking, swinging from side to side. A lines come to mind from the poem "There is a bull goes, sighs on the go ...". According to the inner sensations - there was a small anxiety that soon your life will change dramatically. Baby will be born and will take all your time. There were also fears "He will be so small, fragile, how will I swaddle it, wash?".

As for fear of childbirth - here you need the right installation. You need to talk to yourself every time before bedtime "I pick up a healthy strong child, my childbirth will be easily and successful." And with such an idea to fall asleep. It is also very important to support close and most importantly gynecologist who watched you all pregnancy. Many girlfriends complain that they did not even say the gynecologist "Well, that, successful childbirth!", Did not give a fare. And simply, as if nothing had happened, led the extreme reception. I was very lucky in this regard. I stood all the pregnancy at the doctor of Afanasyeva Oksana Mikhailovna. She always gave a little advice, explained all the physiological processes in a simple human language, paying time for both inspection and listening to my experiences and sensations.

To the forerunners of birth are usually referred to: - lowering the bottom of the uterus (women say: "belly dropped"), - an increase in the volume of discharge from the vagina (usually transparent), - stabilization or even reduced weight of pregnant, - training contractions, - Ripening of the cervix, - the separation of the mucosa.

I must say that not every pregnant gets all these harbingers. It happens that the woman begins to give birth, and on time, without waiting for any of the above signs of approaching birth. And yet we will consider each of them in more detail to understand how our body can be asked about the ambulance with the baby.

1. The lowering of the bottom of the uterus usually takes place for 10 to 20 days before the start of childbirth when the baby descends closer to the entrance to the pelvis, while sometimes the head can even join it with a small segment. The surrounding usually tell a woman: "Oh, your belly dropped." She feels it, as it becomes easier to breathe. In addition, future mothers note that in recent weeks in one meal can eat quite a bit, and now it has become possible to "eat as it should". This is understandable, the desired uterus ceases to squeeze the stomach and the diaphragm, so it is breathing easier.

2. The allocation of a large amount of transparent mucus occurs due to the more active generation of its iron, located in the mucous membrane of the cervical cervix. The high activity of these glands is associated with a changing hormonal background.

3. In the past two to three weeks before the birth of women who are regularly weighed, noted the stop in the weight set or even its decline. This is due to the fact that under the influence of a changing hormonal background, water excrete from the body increases.

4. Most pregnant women feel the so-called training bouts. Moreover, some women happen in two - three last days, others can be felt for two to three weeks. This usually happens in the evening, before bedtime. The pregnant woman appears regular sipping sensations, localized by the abdomen or in the lower back, most often painless.

How to distinguish training contractions from true, because most women and the first hours of generations of sensations will be exactly the same? A truly objective assessment of the state can only be given a doctor or midwife as a result of a vaginal inspection.

The fact is that training fights usually do not lead to the smoothing of the cervix, the disclosure of the groove and the formation of the fruit bubble (rounded the dumping of the fruit shells with an amniotic fluid, disclosed from the opened neck). As a result of true fights at the beginning of childbirth, all these changes occur, which is found in vaginal inspection.

5. Another harbinger of childbirth is the teleachment of the mucosa. It happens usually per day - two before the start of childbirth, although sometimes from the moment of allocation of traffic jams, there may be two or three weeks.

On the eve of the birth of the neck undergoes some changes - it becomes softer, loose, due to this channel, located in the center, is open, as a result of which the mucous plug begins to go out. And then, part of women can detect the plug in their panties, published entirely (a lump of a dense mucus, painted in brown due to blood cells present in it), or in the form of beaming (if it is separated by parts). And some pregnant women will not notice anything at all, because their mucous plug, coming out of the cervical canal, will remain in the vagina and will come out, perhaps only in the second period of childbirth together with the birth of the baby.

The deduction of the mucosa, in my opinion, the most significant forerunner on informativeness. In contrast to all the others, he can be interpreted unambiguously - for the released plug in the next day - two really begins the process of childbirth. So those women who are lucky to see their mucous plug may well trust this signal.

6. The last forerunner of childbirth is the "maturation" of the cervix - is determined only as a result of a gynecological inspection. If a woman is vaginal investigated on the eve of the birth (in first-boring in one to two days, in re-launching in one - two weeks before childbirth), then you can find signs of cervical maturity: it is located on the pelvic axis, very softened all over, shortened, repeatedly cerched The canal skips his finger.

When there are already 37 weeks of pregnancy, IVS is stronger than the expectation of a meeting with your baby, a woman has harbinger of upcoming birth. These include drawing sensations in the lower back, heaviness when walking, frequent urge to urination and defecation and lowering the abdomen before childbirth. If these signs appeared, then a woman will soon give birth.

By 9 months of pregnancy, the belly reaches large sizes, it becomes harder to breathe, and the digestive disorder (belching and heartburn) is tormented increasingly. And when for 9 months the pregnant woman becomes easier to breathe, the appetite decreases and almost not tormenting the heartburn, it means that the belly dropped. Outdation of the abdomen during pregnancy is associated with the promotion and establishment of the fetus "pretext" part (the one that the first will appear on the light, more often by the head) at the entrance to a small pelvis. What else means if the belly dropped? - Announce belly is associated with the omission of the bottom of the uterus.

Announce belly can be determined in a very simple way: try to put the palm between the belly and the breast, if the belly dropped, then the palm will fit. It happens that the woman did not notice that the belly was lowered, and first notes someone from relatives (Mom, husband, girlfriend).

Young future moms care: "When the stomach is lowered from the primary." The primary belly falls in 2-3, and sometimes even 4 weeks before delivery (about the 36 week of pregnancy). In repeatedly, the stomach is lowered a few days before delivery (up to 7 days). If the first pregnancy dropped the belly at 37 weeks, then the birth will begin on time for 39-40 weeks. But if the primary belly dropped the belly at 35 week, then it's not worth worrying anyway, because the deadlines for lowering the abdomen during the first pregnancy every woman has individuals and this does not mean that there may be problems in childbirth. If the lifetime is suitable, and the stomach has not yet dropped, it is recommended to move more, it is not necessary to conduct a passive lifestyle, as this can only lead to an excessive set of body weight. You can perform simple work on the house (cook, sweep, wash the floor), no one has canceled walks in the fresh air too.

As already mentioned earlier, the entry of the abdomen is a subjective sign, and it is impossible to determine the exact date of delivery on it. Therefore, if an electoral in the period of 37-38 weeks, the stomach has not yet dropped, then this is not a reason to worry. The causes of the abdomen of the abdomen before childbirth, gynecologists consider: multi-coded pregnancy, as well as large fruit. All these reasons prevent the child to take the right position in the uterus before childbirth and fall into the cavity of the small pelvis.

As you can see, such a harbinger of childbirth, like the omission of belly during pregnancy, is not a constant sign of the approaching childbirth. After lowering the belly before the births themselves, it can pass from 1 day to 3 weeks, so if you have learned all the information on sites and forums and expect the belly to drop on 36-37 weeks, then you should not panic if it did not happen. It should be remembered that your body is unique in its own way, and all processes in it occur in a special way.
