Patient's question:
At 11 a.m. today during my bathroom break at 40 weeks + 4, I passed a lot of blood, almost like a normal menstrual flow! But now it's almost 6 p.m., and besides irregular contractions, my stomach doesn't hurt. During contractions, the baby pushes up toward my stomach instead of down—shouldn't it be moving downward? Is it dangerous for the mother or baby if I receive oxytocin? My ultrasound shows a biparietal diameter of 97, femur length of 75, and amniotic fluid of 65. I'm worried that the baby's head is too big, and giving oxytocin might be dangerous again?Doctor's answer:
Dear Inquirer,According to your description, it is recommended that you go to a regular tertiary-level public hospital for a follow-up visit and hospitalization for childbirth as soon as possible. The doctor will provide appropriate arrangements based on your specific condition, determine the mode of delivery, and ensure a smooth labor process.
The above is the advice regarding the question "I had a lot of blood when I went to the toilet at 11 a.m. on the 40th week + 4, what should I do?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
