After learning of pregnancy, the doctor will generally tell the pregnant mother the expected date of delivery as soon as possible. The so-called expected date of delivery is also the date on which the baby is expected to be born.
Unfortunately, not many babies are actually born at the expected date, only about 5%, and other babies are generally born within two weeks before and after the expected date.
Therefore, there will be fetuses that have passed the due date, but are still "eating and drinking" in the womb, and there will also be pregnant mothers who are restless and anxious, even if they know this, it is normal.
Why is it that the expected date of delivery has not yet started when the fetus is reached?
The expected date of delivery is only the expected date, not the exact date
Although every pregnant mother knows her due date, the estimation of the expected date is calculated from the first day of the pregnant mother's last menstrual period, for a period of 280 days.
That is to say, no matter what day the pregnant mother ovulates, according to the 280-day algorithm, the expected date of delivery is that day.
But in fact, it only takes 264 days for the fetus to mature in the mother's womb, and if the date of ovulation is different, or the difference is relatively large, then the expected date of delivery is not accurate.
Therefore, the fetus born within 38 to 42 weeks is a normal full-term baby, and the expected date is really only the expected date, which does not represent the exact date.
Fetal nutrition is inadequate
It is mentioned above that the fetus can mature after 264 days of normal development in the womb, but what if it is not normal?
If the pregnant mother has very severe morning sickness, or is more partial to food, it will lead to insufficient nutrition of the fetus.
A fetus that would have taken only 264 days to mature may take longer to fully mature.
The fetus just wants to unleash its strength and is not allowed.
Pregnant women exercise insufficiently
Is the fetus not launching a campaign related to the pregnant woman's movement?
Can't say it doesn't matter at all!
Because pregnant women can promote blood circulation when exercising, so as to provide more blood oxygen to the fetus, the fetus can also get the nutrients and oxygen it needs.
On the contrary, if the pregnant mother always does not exercise, it may increase the probability of fetal hypoxia, resulting in slow fetal development and slowing down the time of maturity.
So, who says pregnant mom sports aren't important?
In any case, it may also be because the fetus is more attached to the most expensive house he currently lives in, and he is reluctant to check out, so he wants to stay there and not leave.
But if the time is long, it is not good for the fetus and for pregnant women, so after the expected date of delivery, if the fetus is not launched, the pregnant mother can first observe and observe, it is really not okay or take some actions to "induce labor".
What should I do if the fetus does not start when the due date reaches?
Re-determine the due date and increase the number of obstetric examinations
Looking at their due date, it may not be the real expected date, and pregnant mothers can go to the doctor to confirm again whether the real expected date has arrived.
Moreover, if it has reached the due date and has not yet started, pregnant mothers should increase the frequency of obstetric examinations, generally 2 to 3 days to check once, specifically according to the requirements of the doctor.
Don't think that these tests are not important, the more this time comes, the more important the test will become, because the condition of the fetus, the situation of the placenta, etc. may be very different every day.
Lazy mothers also exceeded the expected date of delivery when they had their second child, when the doctor asked for a birth check every other day, so that they could better understand the situation of the fetus and make changes at any time.
In addition, although we have reached the due date, we cannot see the baby with the naked eye, so we must insist on several fetal movements every day until the baby is born.
Increase nutrition and provide unlimited support for your baby
In fact, after the third trimester, many hospitals will mark the weight of the fetus during the examination, and the doctor will also remind and make suggestions for the nutrition of pregnant mothers.
For example, the right sleeping position, foods that can increase the weight of the fetus, etc.
Pregnant mothers only need to adjust the diet structure according to the doctor's recommendations, adjust the sleeping position to avoid fetal hypoxia, etc., so that the fetus can quickly reach normal development indicators.
Do some "inducing labor" campaigns appropriately
It is always said that pregnant women exercise well, really good, can promote blood circulation, can increase skin elasticity, can increase the flexibility of bones, can consume excess fat and so on.
It can also "induce labor"!
So what kind of exercises are suitable for pregnant mothers?
Flat walk. Although it is said to be inducing labor, it is not necessarily necessary to exercise vigorously, as long as it is active, the weight of the fetus will compress to the lower end of the uterus, stimulating uterine contractions and accelerating the launch.
It is recommended to take about 30 minutes 2 times a day, and if you do not feel tired, you can extend the time appropriately.
Climb the stairs. The principle of this method is the same as above, but it is easier to get tired by climbing stairs, and pregnant mothers with pubic pain are not suitable for climbing stairs.
In addition, because pregnant women have a large belly, it may affect vision, for safety, it is best to take the elevator downstairs.
If there is no elevator, then you must support the handrail, be careful under your feet, and do not step on the air.
Sit pregnant women balls. Pregnant mothers can also choose to sit on the pregnant ball, which is conducive to the relaxation of the pelvic muscles, and also because when sitting on the pregnant woman's ball, it will be directly in contact with the y, thus stimulating the contraction of the uterus.
Help from the father-to-be. Male J fluid can also cause uterine contractions, so it is appropriate to allow the father-to-be to be fully functional.
Stimulate the R head. Pregnant mothers can also cause fetal restlessness when massaging X, because massaging pregnant mother X will also cause uterine contractions, and the same is true for stimulating the R head.
However, when using this method, it should not be too rough, so as not to destroy the breast canal and affect postpartum breastfeeding. Just gently lift the R head and release it, repeat 20--30 times, 2 to 3 times a day.
Drug induction of labour
If the fetus still does not start, the expected date of delivery is more than one week, and the pregnant mother needs to be hospitalized for delivery, or directly ask for drugs to induce labor.
But throughout the process, pregnant mothers must always maintain a peaceful state, so that they can better secrete oxytocin and speed up the launch.
Finally, since it has reached the due date, the fetus may be born at any time, and it may be red and water-breaking at any time, so I should pay more attention to it.
