Patient's question:
I'm just one week away from my due date, and worries are unavoidable. But recently, I've been experiencing bloated and painful stomach while sleeping at night, and during the day, I feel so bloated that I don't want to move. Sometimes my stomach also aches, and when walking, it feels like I'm getting side stitches on the left side of my abdomen. I don't know how to explain this phenomenon. I'm very worried. Will this affect the delivery? I'm eager to find an answer. The other day, I went for a prenatal check-up, and the doctor mentioned that there might be a possibility of early labor. Is this a sign of something?Doctor's answer:
Hello, expectant mother!Congratulations on being about to become a mother!
There's only one week left until your due date, and now the delivery is already full-term, so please rest assured.
If your abdomen starts to feel tight and painful, it means you're close to labor, and you can go to the hospital.
You must have confidence—supported by doctors—you will surely deliver your baby smoothly!
Keep going!
Wishing you and your baby a safe delivery!
Generally, doctors recommend that women with dangerous signs during prenatal check-ups should rest in bed and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to having a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
