Pregnant 38 weeks with diarrhea and lower back pain, is it about time to give birth?

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, it's always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. I wonder if having diarrhea at 38 weeks along with lower back pain means that labor is approaching?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, considering your condition, it is unrelated to diarrhea and childbirth. It is recommended to take Smecta and Lactic Acid Bacteria Tablets for treatment to avoid preterm labor due to abdominal pressure. If there are symptoms such as vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, or lower back pain, it indicates that you are nearing the stage of labor and should go to the hospital promptly for delivery. Generally, doctors will advise women with risk signs during prenatal examinations to maintain a balanced diet, avoid spicy and stimulating as well as cold foods. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to having a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
