Patient's question:
Your wife's due date is approaching. Today, she went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor performed a color ultrasound. The doctor said her due date has arrived and that she should be admitted to the hospital as soon as possible to prepare for giving birth. Your wife is a first-time mother and is quite nervous, not really knowing what she needs to pay attention to.What kind of help is needed: What should a pregnant woman pay attention to when she is about to give birth?
Doctor's answer:
Around two weeks before labor, the pregnant woman will feel discomfort in the lower abdomen. At night, irregular uterine contractions often occur, which are the sensation of the abdomen becoming tight and hard, but the duration is usually no more than 30 seconds and often disappears in the morning. These intermittent uterine contractions can also lead to regular abdominal pain, which initially occurs every 10 to 15 minutes but gradually increases in interval time.24 to 48 hours before labor, the pregnant woman may experience a small amount of bloody mucus discharge from the vagina, also known as "show."
