fortieth week

Congratulations, you are now 40 weeks pregnant. In this part, we will introduce you to the changes of the 40th week of pregnancy. The end of the wait has come and you are approaching the final stages of your pregnancy. Only five percent of children are born at the specified time and a large number before or after. They are born from the time set for delivery. There is nothing to worry about because your baby will be born when he is ready. During this time, you should see your doctor regularly.

The doctor may perform an ultrasound to ensure the health of the fetus. In this ultrasound, the weight, height, and heart rate of the fetus are checked. The doctor makes sure that the amount of water around the fetus is sufficient. If the fetus has not yet entered the pelvic area, it will enter the birth canal this week. So soon your pain will start. You will feel pain in the lower abdomen as the fetus puts pressure on the pelvic area. The fetus puts pressure on the pelvis, vagina, and abdomen. You may also sometimes feel pain in the pelvic area due to the movement of the fetal head.

As the time of delivery approaches, erratic contractions begin to increase. These contractions are irregular and not very intense. But sometimes it becomes difficult to distinguish the difference between these two contractions, and you can only notice the difference through the dilation of the cervix. The doctor asks you to pay attention to the time of these contractions and write the interval between them. The baby's head is positioned so that it can pass through the birth canal. Your uterus gradually prepares for delivery during the 40th week and the next week, and the cervix becomes soft and open. If the pains are repeated for more than a minute and every time for 5 minutes, it is probably time to put your load down. It is better to control the movements of the fetus during these weeks.

If she shakes violently or suddenly calms down, you should call the doctor as soon as possible and prepare for delivery.
