So pregnancy comes to its happy resolution. Young mothers begin to actively prepare for an important event - the birth of a child, actively looking for all sorts of symptoms suggesting an approaching birth. One of these symptoms is lowering of the abdomen during pregnancy. Let's look at what it is and what actions the future phenomenon requires from a future mother.
Abdominal prolapse during pregnancy - how to understand this?
In the third trimester, the child gathers strength and prepares for his birth. When the belly falls in pregnant women, this means that the fetus selects a convenient place closer to the exit. He occupies a position in which he will go out, goes down below, his head (and maybe even the priest) is firmly pressed to the entrance to the pelvic area. The physiological changes in a pregnant woman are expressed in a decrease in the tension of the abdominal press, as a result of which the uterus is lowered.
To understand that the stomach has lowered, it is enough to place a palm between the chest and the stomach, if it finds a place for itself, then the omission has occurred.
Feeling pregnant
Lowering the abdomen during pregnancy will bring significant relief to the expectant mother. After all, the fetus descended lower, calmed down a little and most importantly freed up space for the full functioning of the diaphragm, stomach and other internal organs. But, despite the obvious advantages, it becomes more difficult to walk. A woman, to facilitate walking, begins to roll from one foot to another, imitating a duck gait. At this time, the pregnant woman can breathe a sigh of relief in the literal sense of the word, she is overwhelmed by the desire to do something useful and enjoyable for the family and the child. But here you need to keep in mind when the belly falls in pregnant women is a sure harbinger of the approaching birth.
Frequent companions of omission are pain and pain, because the child is tightly pressed and presses on your muscles. This can be avoided by controlling your movements, no sharpness.
When can abdominal prolapse occur?
Each organism is individual, as well as the course of pregnancy. Lowering the abdomen can occur in a week, or maybe two before delivery, but this is only an approximate statistic. In practice, there are cases when the tummy lowers a month before birth, or 1-2 hours before them. There is also no reason to panic when the stomach does not fall at all. In this case, the pregnant woman must pay attention to other precursors of childbirth, so as not to find herself at the crucial moment in the wrong place.
The stomach fell. What to do?
When the belly drops in pregnant women, you need to prepare for the main point - birth. Now you know for sure that it is already worth collecting a bag for the maternity hospital, re-reading the useful literature and repeating everything that you were taught in the classes for pregnant women. Do not go far from home and remain unattended for a long time relatives. As a last resort, let there always be a mobile phone with you and the coordinates of the person who will be able to deliver you to the hospital as soon as possible.
When the belly falls in pregnant women a couple of weeks before giving birth, then in all likelihood you will have to survive false (training) contractions and pulling back pain. Do not worry about this. This may cause some discomfort. But remember that the body is being rebuilt and preparing for its natural purpose, which means that everything will happen as it should.
During this period, it is worth visiting your doctor. Let him assess the situation from a professional point of view, and it will not hurt to discuss the process of childbirth once again. Perhaps the doctor will insist on inpatient support, but this is not necessary if you are sure of a quick delivery to the hospital at any time of the day.
It is also recommended to use a supporting bandage at this time and apply anti-stretch marks. After all, the weight, after lowering the abdomen, was distributed a little differently, so the skin receives completely different loads, and you need to look beautiful after childbirth.
