Patient's question:
Due to my due date being next month, as this is my first child, I'm not sure what symptoms I might experience before labor. Are there any special precautions I should take? Things like diet and well-being!Doctor's answer:
The symptom is the sensation of the fetus rising, most first-time pregnant women will feel their upper abdomen is more comfortable than before, bowel movements can be enhanced, and breathing is also lighter than before. This is mainly because the fetal head engages, causing the fundus of the uterus to rise and reducing the control of the thoracic cavity. Another pre-labor sign is the appearance of bloody show, which usually occurs again 24-48 hours before labor starts with a very small amount of blood. Pay attention to a light diet, moderate exercise, and maintain good health.
