Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How many weeks pregnant is a normal person expected to give birth?Doctor's answer:
Generally, 1-2 weeks before delivery, you may feel a sense of relief in your abdomen as the baby's head descends into the pelvis. However, this pressure on the bladder and rectum may cause lower abdominal bloating and frequent urination. Additionally, irregular uterine contractions may occur, followed by spotting. Typically, 24-48 hours before delivery, some bloody mucus may be discharged from the vagina. Normal pregnancy allows for delivery starting at 37 weeks, but if it exceeds 42 weeks, it is considered postterm.
