fetus into the basin can be said to be one of the most concerned topics for mothers in the third trimester. My friend Lingling asked Mom a few days ago, she said that she is now in the third trimester, and it is not long before the expected date of delivery. Recently, I felt my belly fell. I don’t know if it’s getting into the basin.

The speed of the fetus entering the basin is very fast. It often happens when the pregnant mother is completely unprepared. For most mothers who have undergone parturients, whether the fetus enters the basin can be identified by themselves, but they have no experience in the first pregnancy. Pregnant mothers are confused about the fetus entering the basin.

At 33 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus will indeed enter the basin early, especially for pregnant mothers who are pregnant for the first time, the fetus will enter the basin earlier, but early entry does not mean that the fetus will be born prematurely. Mom remembers her first In one pregnancy, the child entered the basin at around 33 weeks and gave birth at 39 weeks.

The feeling of falling in the belly is indeed one of the many signals of entering the basin, but the feeling of falling in the belly does not necessarily mean that the fetus enters the basin. In the third trimester, in addition to the fetus entering the basin, the following situations will also cause pregnant mothers We have a feeling of falling abdomen.

1. Falling sensation caused by uterine enlargement

The uterus is the place where the fetus grows and develops. After pregnancy, the uterus is also the organ that changes the most during pregnancy. The weight of the uterus at term is about 1000g. Even after delivery, the weight of the uterus will be Above 80g, the average weight of the uterus of women who have not given birth is 50-70g.

After pregnancy, the uterus of the pregnant mother will gradually increase with the growth and development of the fetus. 33 weeks of gestation can be said to be a relatively rapid stage of fetal development. The weight of the pregnant mother will also increase rapidly at this stage, and the uterus will increase at this time. The most obvious is that the enlarged uterus will also tilt forward, and you will feel that your belly will fall down when you stand.

Mo's mother also encountered this problem when she was 34 weeks pregnant. At that time, the fetus had not yet entered the basin, but because she gained a lot of weight during pregnancy, her belly was very large, and she felt her belly dropped significantly when she stood.

2. The feeling of falling caused by the dangling abdomen

The dangling abdomen is a kind of abdominal shape during pregnancy. Basin), because of this special "structure", the strength of the belly of pregnant mothers with this belly shape is concentrated downwards. Therefore, the more forward the gestational week, the more obvious the feeling of abdomen falling.

3. The falling sensation caused by "under the arms"

The shape of the belly will also make pregnant mothers have many different feelings during pregnancy, such as upper arms and lower arms. The upper arms of

are the upper abdomen. In this case, pregnant mothers have the most serious symptoms of upper gastrointestinal discomfort, such as acid reflux, heartburn, vomiting, etc.

The lower abdomen is the lower abdomen. In this case, pregnant mothers have the most serious symptoms of urinary system discomfort, such as frequent urination and urinary incontinence; because of the lower belly, the uterus enlarges significantly in the third trimester, and pregnant mothers also You will feel a significant drop in the abdomen.

In addition to the above points, fetal movement and "frequent" false contractions in the third trimester of pregnancy will cause pregnant mothers to have a feeling of falling abdomen.

is the most active stage of the fetus at 33 weeks of pregnancy. The fetal movement is also frequent, and the baby is still very strong. During the activity, accidentally mentioning the mother’s lower abdomen and bladder will cause the mother to A feeling of falling in his stomach.

False contractions at 33 weeks of pregnancy will appear more frequently. Seven or eight false contractions a day are common. As long as no more than 4 times an hour is normal, the belly of a pregnant mother at 33 weeks of pregnancy is originally It is relatively large. If you have false contractions while standing or walking, the uterus will shrink into a ball, and there will be a feeling of falling when the hair is tight and stiff. Mo Ma often has false contractions in the third trimester. Will feel a sense of falling.

How does the fetus feel when it enters the basin?

The fetus entering the pelvis will cause the entire uterus to fall, so after the fetus enters the pelvis, the mother’s belly will move down, and there will be an obvious falling sensation, and sometimes there will be a falling pain. In addition to the sensation of falling abdomen, the fetus will become pregnant after entering the pelvis There may be the following feelings.

1). The fetus entering the pelvis will cause the uterus to fall, and the uterus will move down, and the mother's upper body will begin to "liberate" because the downward uterus will reduce the compression of the stomach diaphragmAfter a lot of time, mothers will feel that some discomforts in the upper digestive tract have been significantly reduced, breathing has become smoother, and the number of acid reflux heartburn will be significantly reduced.

2). The fetus at 33 weeks of gestation has grown a lot, and the fetus that has grown up after entering the pelvis and the uterus will again compress the pregnant mother’s bladder, which means that the number of times you go to the toilet will increase again, so the frequency of urination is also One of the ways to judge when a fetus enters the basin, Mo Mom remembers that when she enters the basin, she suddenly urinates frequently, and she always goes to the bathroom all afternoon.

After the fetus enters the pelvis, the most obvious change in the pregnant mother’s body is the abdomen. All mothers know that the fetus enters the pelvis is a downward process. The fetus will slowly approach the "gate". Will "open the door to hug mom".

Generally speaking, the mother's abdomen will not change much when the fetus enters the pelvis halfway. The changes in the abdomen will only appear after the fetus has completely entered the pelvis. After the fetus enters the pelvis, the mother's stomach will look obvious. The feeling of falling down, like the picture above, the bulging part of the abdomen becomes downwards. It took 4 weeks for Mo Ma to enter the basin completely before entering the basin. There is not much change in the abdomen when the fetus enters the basin. When I stand up completely in the basin, I feel my stomach is leaning down obviously, and I can see this change by looking sideways in the mirror.

To put it simply, the feeling of falling belly is one of the many signals that the fetus has entered the pelvis, but the feeling of falling belly cannot be used to judge whether the fetus has entered the pelvis, because the enlarged uterus, lower gestation, false contractions and other factors will cause pregnancy.
