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 my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts.How should I handle it if the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck at 8 months pregnant?
Doctor's answer:
It's usually not a cause for concern and generally won't have an impact. Maintain a balanced diet with timely nutrition, eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, and regularly visit the hospital for follow-up check-ups. In the first three months of pregnancy, the uterus does not enlarge significantly, and it is usually not noticeable externally until 3.5 to 4 months. During the third month of pregnancy, the uterus just moves out of the pelvic cavity, with a diameter of about 8 cm, roughly the size of a fist.
