Patient's question:
At 40 weeks pregnant, I've been experiencing some abdominal pain accompanied by lower back pain. Sometimes my abdomen feels very hard, and it's always wet down there with a lot of leukorrhea. Is this a sign of labor?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Your current situation is that you are full-term, so you need to pay more attention. If you experience abdominal pain that recurs in a regular, rhythmic pattern, or any vaginal bleeding, it may indicate that labor is approaching. I don’t know what your due date is, or whether you have decided between natural labor or a cesarean section? Generally, it’s about time to be admitted to the hospital for labor. Pay attention to your diet and rest, and avoid overexertion. Wishing you a pleasant experience! In fact, experiencing labor is not something to be afraid of. Patients should believe that they can overcome the condition. As long as treatment is timely in the early stages, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
