Pregnancy Week 40

As the 40th week is officially the finish line, the baby will be born. Mothers should prepare a stretcher. Get a car in the car and pack your bags for going to the hospital. Get ready to put it on the door. Now just prepare a little something at the last minute, such as make sure your phone is fully charged before going to bed and the car has petrol ready to go.

In the 40s, some mothers may have put a waterproof cloth on their bed in case of water walking in the middle of the night. It's not as important as it is, but it's a good idea. Especially after the birth of the baby. The bed can be a lot of stains (milk,, pee).

This week may be a bit of an uncomfortable feeling for mothers because mothers are constantly worried about when their child will come out and question themselves every time the uterus hurts. Try not to be stressed and think you'll come when you're ready. My mother's body was going to have a signal.

What is the size of a 40-week-old fetus?

In the 40th week, you're the size of a watermelon. The average weight of a baby at birth is about 7.6 pounds and about 20.2 inches long from head to toe.

When you're 40 weeks pregnant, you're 9 months pregnant! It's so good!

Symptoms of pregnancy at 40 weeks

In the last few weeks, The same symptoms will continue to occur. My mother's main job is to endure these symptoms.

  • Cramping Try to stretch your calves and thigh muscles. There is no cramping in the bed.
  • Pressure on the pelvis You may have moved down to your mother's pelvic area. This can cause the mother to become more unwell in the area.
  • There is a problem with sleep. If you can't sleep, It's a good thing to get up and find something to do, but it's a light activity that creates peace, such as reading a book or writing a note, not starting with cleaning the fridge or dancing in the sumba.
  • exhaustion I don't sleep, but because you don't have anything else to do, you're not going to sleep. Mom can take a nap, or at least find some time to relax.
  • The uterus squeezes. So if you look like your mother starts to get hurt more often, start to time how many minutes apart. If you start to move more and more quickly and start to get more sore, it means that the mother is in the early stages of the pregnancy pain.
  • I'm anxious! You'll open your eyes to the world when it's time. Mom doesn't have to stress.

Signs of childbirth in the 40th week

This week, mothers may not have any signs of giving birth. If the pain in your stomach hurts beyond just feeling unwell and the symptoms occur regularly. Other signs include walking water. This is because it is said that amniotic fluid is broken or leaking, you will know for sure, because it will be really different from the normal whitening and will never flow. At first, you might think it's urine, but in the end you'll know it's not peeing!

40th week of maternity acceleration

In the 40s, mothers may be getting nervous. Because this should be the last week of pregnancy! Mothers may think they should be able to rush birth spontaneously. We recommend going out for a walk and having sex (both of these methods are a good time to kill and may cause your mother's body to start the process of childbirth). If you want to try acupuncture, it's safe, too. However, do not eat herbs or castor oil, the doctor said that these methods are not safe and may not help. Mothers may have heard more than stimulating nipples to accelerate childbirth. It actually helps, but doctors don't recommend trying it, but stimulating the nipple can cause the uterus to squeeze too much and can cause harm to the baby. Don't try it.

She's due to give birth now. The doctor may talk about medical delivery. Whether or not it is accelerated depends on the health of the baby in the womb (the doctor may make an appointment if the mother has complications or a twin pregnancy). If your child is healthy and the mother does not have any complications, it may not be necessary to rush the birth and the mother can carry the baby a little longer (yes, it will be a long time, so there is a great chance that the mother will get her stomach hurt by the end of next week). It's really worth waiting for you to come out when you're ready.

Ultrasound at 40 weeks of pregnancy

The 40-week-old fetus has longer hair and nails, and her lungs are growing.

When your mother is pregnant and reaches the 40th week, there is a chance that the doctor will take a BPP (Biophysical profile). If you didn't know it before, This is two tests, so you'll get a non-stress test, which follows the baby's movements and the squeezing of the mother's uterus to see how your heart rate responds, and BPP and NST are performed twice a week when the mother is overweight, and the mother undergoes an ultrasound to see the amniotic fluid level.

IF THE RESULTS OF THE BPP AND NST AND/OR ULTRASOUND IN THE 40TH WEEK INDICATE THAT THE CHILD SHOULD BE RELEASED, "TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD" RATHER THAN IN THE BELLY. THE DOCTOR WILL ORDER A DELIVERY, BUT IF EVERYTHING IS OKAY, MOM, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT. SWEETIE, I'M SORRY. I CAN'T BE IN THERE FOREVER!
