Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of the fetus engaging?Doctor's answer:
Engagement refers to, during the late stage of pregnancy, the fetus being surrounded by amniotic fluid and fetal membranes, in a position with the head down, buttocks up, and the entire body curled up. This allows the head of the fetus to pass through the inlet of the mother's pelvis into the pelvic cavity, thereby securing the position of the body. When the fetus engages, many pregnant women often feel tightening and a sense of heaviness in the abdomen.Food should be light and easy to digest, with small, frequent meals, and it's important not to reduce the total intake. Of course, if vomiting is severe and dietary treatment is ineffective, it's advisable to go to the hospital and receive appropriate fluid supplementation under the guidance of a doctor.
