Patient's question:
I am 35 weeks pregnant. I haven't felt much lately, but the past two days I've been experiencing lower back pain and pain on both sides of my thighs. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor told me to go home and wait until I'm full term before coming back. I'm really anxious.What symptoms are there at nine months pregnant, close to delivery?
Doctor's answer:
At nine months pregnant, it is generally between the 33rd and 36th week, and delivery can occur at any time. The symptoms that may appear when labor is approaching are usually manifested in tangible signs such as a feeling of heaviness, contractions, bloody show, and rupture of the amniotic fluid.
