Tingting is a young pregnant mother, and the baby in her belly is now full-term. The closer she gets to delivery, the more nervous she feels, because she is afraid that the baby will suddenly start and give her a surprise, so after the full term, she is very concerned about her belly every day.

But just in the last few days, Tingting felt that her stomach always had a kind of falling feeling, very uncomfortable, and sometimes her Y and sacrum areas were vaguely painful, for several days in a row, she was a little afraid of this situation, so she rushed to the hospital for a checkup.

After the examination, the doctor told her that this was a sign that the fetus was in the pelvis, indicating that she was about to give birth, and told her to go home and rest and not to worry too much.

It is an important sign for mothers to observe the fetus in the pelvis, which is an important indication before the delivery of the fetus.

What is fetal pelvic?

The fetal pelvic area refers to the time when the fetus, surrounded by amniotic fluid and fetal membranes, changes its position in the mother's belly to a head-down, buttocks-up position and curls up, and the head begins to descend through the mother's pelvic opening and into the pelvic cavity

To-Be Kit

Once this process is reached, it means that mothers are not far from giving birth. In other words, pelvic entry is a prelude to delivery.

The time when the fetus enters the pelvis may not be the same for every pregnant woman, but in general, most of the time, the pelvic entry occurs around 36-38 weeks of pregnancy, and some even start to enter the pelvis earlier at 32 weeks, depending on the physical condition of the pregnant mother and the shape of the pelvis.

Generally speaking, mothers with small pelvis will wait longer than mothers with the large pelvis to enter the pelvis. In addition, pregnant mothers who exercise regularly and have tighter body muscles will have a longer waiting time for the fetus to enter the pelvis.

What will the mother feel after the fetus is in the pelvis?

After the fetus is in the pelvis, mothers should be prepared. Most first-time mothers will deliver 2-3 weeks after the pelvis is in the pelvis, while menstruating mothers who have given birth may start right after the pelvis is in the pelvis.

Therefore, pregnant mothers should carefully observe their body changes, if there are some manifestations of pelvic, go to the hospital to check to determine it, they also have a psychological preparation.

Feeling one: feeling the abdomen dropping

After the fetus is in the pelvis, the head gradually descends into the pelvis, at this time the most obvious feeling of pregnant mothers is the abdominal drop, always feel very uncomfortable this is because the fetus is positioned down, into the pelvis caused by a result.

Feeling 2: Y pain

The fetus has moved down into the pelvis and will press on the pubic bone and Y part of the mother, which will cause pain in these two places under stimulation and may be accompanied by irregular pseudo-contractions.

Some mothers-to-be are very nervous when they encounter this situation, but as long as the contractions are not regular and frequent, there is usually no problem.

Feeling three: frequent urination

As the baby enters the pelvis, the uterus increases in size and constantly presses on the bladder, resulting in less urine stored in the bladder, so pregnant mothers will often experience frequent urination.

At this time, pregnant mothers should not drink less water or deliberately hold urine to reduce the number of trips to the toilet, as all these may lead to urinary tract infections.

Feeling four: appetite becomes better

In the middle of pregnancy, the growing fetus will squeeze the pregnant mother's stomach upward, so there will be a loss of appetite.

As the fetus gradually moves down and into the pelvis, the pressure of the uterus on the diaphragm, stomach, heart, and other organs becomes much less.

The pregnant mother will feel smooth breathing, appetite also increased a lot, but even so, pregnant mothers should pay attention, do not remember to overeat, to avoid fetal weight growing too fast, resulting in delivery difficulties.

Feeling five: the shape of the stomach changes

As the position of the fetus moves down, the shape of the pregnant mother's belly will also change. The abdomen, which looked high, will move down as the head of the fetus moves down, and the bulge will also move down.

This looks like the pregnant mother's belly is not as round as before, more like a grapefruit shape, and the belly feels hard to the touch.

There are some things that pregnant mothers need to pay attention to after they are sure that the fetus is in the pelvis. If there is a delay in the pelvis, wait patiently or go to the hospital and consult your doctor for some aids or interventions to help the fetus to pelvis better.

After the fetus is in the pelvis, pregnant mothers should pay attention to these 4 aspects

1. Timely maternity checkups

The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the results of the fetal exams and determine the development and position of the fetus.

Once abnormalities are found, timely intervention and adjustment can be made, and the time of pelting and delivery can also be determined so that pregnant mothers can be psychologically prepared.

2, pay attention to a balanced diet

The mother's appetite becomes better and the amount of food she eats increases during the late pregnancy, but she should pay attention to a balanced diet.

In addition, the development of the fetus has matured during this period, for some nutrients, pregnant mothers should not add extra, to avoid the development of the fetus being too large.

3、Prepare for the delivery

After the fetus is in the pelvis, pregnant mothers should be ready for delivery, pack the things ready to go to the hospital for delivery in advance, at the same time, understand the symptoms and knowledge that will appear before delivery, relieve their nervousness, if there are signs of delivery, take the things and go to the hospital in time.

The whole pregnancy, pregnant mothers are in both nervous and expectant moods, each stage of the fetal changes can give mothers a surprise, so, about the fetal pelvis, mothers should not be too anxious, the normal view, at the same time, family members should also be next to give encouragement, relax, in a better state of mind to meet the birth of the baby.
