Pregnant mothers are very hard, especially in the third trimester, with a large belly and a heavy body, and the mother's life action is very inconvenient, and she is eager to "unload" immediately. But mothers, this birth is not a hurry, the child must be born at full term. As the old saying goes, "One day in the belly, one week in the birth", even if it is full term, there are many differences.
It has been 37 weeks since she was pregnant with her second child, because she was an elderly woman, she felt particularly tired, and she thought that the child was already full-term, so it was better to have a caesarean section.
However, she went to consult a doctor, who said: "You had better stick to it for two more weeks, now at any time the child is about to be born, we can all have a caesarean section, but it is not recommended to just turn 37 weeks old, no symptoms to cut the child out, this is not good for the child." ”
How long does it take to be pregnant for term?
Medically, a fetus whose mother is 37 weeks to 40 weeks pregnant is considered a full-term fetus. In other words, fetuses at 37 weeks of pregnancy and 40 weeks of pregnancy are considered full-term fetuses. So if we have a caesarean section, is it possible to have a caesarean section at 37 weeks' gestation? Of course not, there is a very big difference between a child born at 37 weeks of pregnancy and a child born at 40 weeks of pregnancy in these aspects.
Children born at the age of 40 have better organ development than children born at 37 weeks
The fetus is born at just 37 weeks, and his lungs are the most underdeveloped, so some premature babies have a higher proportion of symptoms such as wet lungs. And those babies who stay in their mother's belly for 40 weeks have more fully developed lungs, so even the crying will be particularly loud. The development of other organs of the fetus, although not very obvious, is a similar principle.
Fetuses born at 40 weeks of pregnancy, they are better fed
Although the fetus at 37 weeks' gestation can also survive, their overall performance is that they are relatively light in weight, not easy to feed, the body is prone to various problems, and the physique is relatively poor.
Children born at the age of 40 weeks of pregnancy eat more, sleep soundly, and develop rapidly and healthily after birth, and their weight gain is also relatively fast.
A 40-week-pregnant baby doesn't like to get sick
Some premature babies are particularly difficult to care for, they often have gastrointestinal discomfort, colds and other symptoms, the body's resistance is poor. And those babies who are 40 weeks pregnant are born stronger and do not like to get sick.
The third trimester of pregnancy is a very dangerous and difficult period, and the body of the pregnant mother will appear a series of discomforts and problems with the development and growth of the fetus.
How to safely spend the third trimester of pregnancy, so that the fetus can be ripe and naturally delivered, is also what many mothers should know.
The time of birth of the fetus should be scientifically managed by the mother
37 weeks of pregnancy is the time of the baby's term, which does not mean that it is the best time for the baby to be born. It's not right for us to have an early caesarean section because of some selfishness of our own. The period of time when the baby finally develops in the mother's belly should also be cherished, which is very important for the baby's organ development and all aspects of health indicators.
Of course, if the baby has special circumstances or the mother's physical health problems, the baby is more than the expected date or no movement, we have to listen to the doctor's advice, is it time for a caesarean section.
Doctors generally recommend that we have children, so the care of the fetus in the third trimester needs to be paid more attention to, and it is generally required to have a maternity examination in a week.
The health knowledge in the third trimester is passed on to the mothers, hoping to help you spend the last period of "integration" with the baby, and then give birth healthily and smoothly.
(1) It is important to control the rate of weight gain in the third trimester.
The time of pregnancy, we are all based on nutrients is the most important, but the third trimester should pay attention not to overeating, can not let the mother weight and fetal weight grow too fast.
In the third trimester, you should eat a balanced diet, monitor the weight gain of yourself and your child at any time, control it within a reasonable range, and make it easier for the baby to have a smooth birth.
(2) In the third trimester of pregnancy, ensure adequate sleep time and pay attention to sleeping posture.
In the third trimester, sleep is very difficult for pregnant women. Especially as the stomach gets bigger and bigger, it is difficult for pregnant women to lie down. Doctors generally recommend that in the third trimester, pregnant women should sleep in the left lying position, so that the fetus can avoid lack of oxygen due to compression.
(3) In the third trimester of pregnancy, pregnant women should exercise appropriately.
If the mother intends to produce a baby, the mother should exercise appropriately during pregnancy. Proper exercise in the third trimester can help the baby enter the basin smoothly, and can also improve the flexibility and physical fitness of the mother's body, which is helpful for smooth delivery.
(4) The obstetric examination in the third trimester should be completed on time, and attention should also be paid to the baby's fetal heart rate monitoring.
The third trimester is also a very dangerous period for the fetus to be in the mother's belly. The baby has matured, but the changes in amniotic fluid in the third trimester and the entanglement of the fetal umbilical cord are some of the more dangerous situations. Therefore, in addition to the on-time obstetric examination, it is also important to do a good job of fetal heart monitoring of the child.
The birth day of each baby is the birthday of the mother, and I hope that every mother is a scientific fetus and has a baby smoothly.
