For many pregnant mothers who choose to have a normal birth, whether the fetus can be smoothly entered into the pelvis in the third trimester is a problem they are very concerned about, because the fetus entering the pelvis represents that the baby has adjusted the delivery posture and is ready for normal delivery.
When does the fetus enter the pelvis? How to tell if the fetus is in the pelvis? How do I help the fetus get into the pot? This is a compulsory prenatal course, and pregnant mothers should understand and prepare in advance.
When does the fetus enter the pelvis?
Entering the pelvis refers to the state in which the baby enters the pelvic cavity of the pregnant mother in an upside-down position in the third trimester.
In general, the first woman will enter the potting state 1-2 weeks before the due date, that is, about 38 weeks of pregnancy, and a small number of first-time women may enter the potting state early at 34-36 weeks of pregnancy. There are also a small number of first-time women, like menstruating mothers, who do not enter the pelvis until after the onset of contractions.
Therefore, due to individual differences, the baby's time into the basin is not fixed, do a good job of regular examination, as long as the doctor evaluates the state of the pregnant mother and the fetus is good, with the conditions for normal delivery, do not care too much about the time of the basin sooner or later.
How to tell if the fetus is in the pelvis?
Whether the fetus is in the basin, the pregnant mother can make a comprehensive judgment according to multiple signals of changes in her body.
Belly shape changes
Due to the change in fetal position, from the appearance point of view, the highest point of the pregnant mother's belly will gradually move down, like a round watermelon to a grapefruit.
Breathing is clear and appetite is enhanced
During pregnancy, the fetus will squeeze into the internal organs of the pregnant mother, so that the pregnant mother often has nausea, nausea, chest tightness and shortness of breath. After entering the basin, the fetus declines, and the pressure of the uterus on the organs will be significantly reduced, especially the organs in the upper positions such as the heart, stomach, and lungs. Therefore, after the baby enters the basin, the pregnant mother will feel that her breathing is unblocked and her appetite is enhanced.
Pubic pain
The baby's entry into the pelvic cavity will compress the pubic bone of the pregnant mother, and the sensitive pregnant mother's abdomen will also have a feeling of falling. The pubic bone is painfully painful, and the pregnant mother can relieve it with local hot compresses, massage, or with the help of a braceital band during the day. At night, you can put a pillow between your legs and use a restraint strap to tie your hips if necessary to improve.
Frequent urination
After the baby's head enters the basin, it will compress the mother's bladder, and the bladder's urine storage function will be weakened, making the phenomenon of urinary frequency worse. At this time, pregnant mothers should not hold back urine, and if they have the intention of urinating, they can go to the toilet and drink as little water as possible before going to bed.
Irregular contractions
After the fetus enters the pelvis, it will compress the cervix, and the pregnant mother will have false contractions such as abdominal tightening. However, this contraction is irregular, the interval time is different, usually lasts less than 30 seconds, the pain is relatively weak, and the pain will be significantly reduced after rest.
True contractions are regular, from the initial contractions every 10 minutes or so, gradually to 5-6 minutes, each lasting 30-40 seconds, the pain will gradually increase.
However, there is a situation where the pregnant mother can feel body signals such as easy breathing, increased appetite, and frequent urination, but the actual fetus is not in the basin, that is, the trans-shame sign is positive.
A positive transiubic sign is when the fetal head is too large or the front and back diameter of the pregnant mother's pelvis is narrowed, and the fetus is inverted, but the fetal head cannot enter the pelvis. In this case, the birth cannot be vaginal, and a caesarean section is required.
How do I help the fetus get into the pot?
After 37 weeks, if you want to let the baby into the pelvis early, the pregnant mother can sit in the sitting pelvis appropriately to help the baby adjust to the appropriate pelvic position.
When doing pelvic exercise, Bao Dad can also participate, stand face to face with the pregnant mother, hand in hand to help the pregnant mother stabilize the center of gravity, pregnant mother up and down to move the pelvis, including squat 15 times; pelvic stretching, maintaining a squat state, moving the hips up and down slightly, getting up after 30 seconds.
