Patient's question:
At 40 weeks + 4, I went to the bathroom at 11 a.m. and when I squatted down, there was a lot of blood like menstrual flow, except for blood clots and something like mucus. I just heard that the fetal heartbeat is normal. Is it okay to wait for abdominal pain to give birth? But now it’s almost 6 p.m., and besides irregular contractions, my stomach hasn’t been hurting. What’s going on? And when I’m having contractions, the baby keeps pushing up against my stomach instead of moving downward. Shouldn’t it be pushing downward? Is there any way to slow down the contractions?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in your current situation, there is no recurring regular training yet, so you haven't entered the second stage of labor. Don't be nervous, relax your mind. The sensation of the baby pressing on your stomach is due to fetal movement. If regular contractions occur again, the hospital will administer oxytocin to prolong the labor. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
