At 39 weeks pregnant, I'm experiencing some cramping - is it time to give birth?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Please tell me if it's normal to have intermittent abdominal pain at 39 weeks of pregnancy, as it might mean labor is starting.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, usually delivery will occur within one week after the baby engages in the pelvis. It's important to prepare for delivery, and you can choose between natural birth or cesarean section to terminate the pregnancy based on the condition of the fetus and the mother. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it's best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a check-up, identify the cause, and receive symptomatic treatment. Additionally, pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
