How to do after the due date? Strengthening the movement

summary

Pregnant women with normal menstrual cycle, more than 2 weeks after the expected date of delivery has not yet labor, known as overdue pregnancy. Because each woman's specific pregnancy date and the time needed for fetal growth and maturity can not be mastered very accurately, and the length of the menstrual cycle is not consistent, resulting in differences in pregnancy time, so there are some difficulties in the diagnosis. Prolonged pregnancy is prone to fetal distress, decreased amniotic fluid volume, difficult delivery and injury, and even cause fetal death, so we should pay attention to it. What should we do after the due date.

How to do after the due date? Strengthening the movement

Method 1: if there is no movement after the due date, expectant mothers should strengthen exercise. Upright movement can promote the fetus into the basin, but also exercise pelvic floor muscles, increase productivity. However, when you go out for sports, you need to find a "bodyguard" in case of a sudden "emergency". 1) walking is the most suitable way of exercise in late pregnancy. Walking can breathe fresh air. At the end of pregnancy, walking can help the fetus descend into the basin, relax pelvic ligaments and prepare for delivery. When walking, you should talk with your child and listen to the singing of birds and the sound of crickets. 2) prenatal gymnastics is very popular in foreign countries. It can not only promote the fetal head into the basin, but also increase the toughness and elasticity of pelvic floor muscles. 3) it is often heard that doctors say to expectant mothers who have passed the due date and have not moved: "go climb the stairs!" climbing the stairs can exercise the muscles of thighs and buttocks, help the fetus enter the basin, and make the first stage of labor come as soon as possible.

Method 2: drug delivery. Before drug delivery, a series of examinations and monitoring are required to evaluate the fetal condition and placental function, so as to make a decision. If it is found that the fetus is too large by ultrasound or the neck is quite soft by digital diagnosis, we can consider giving birth earlier. If cervical maturity is good, placental function is good, amniotic fluid volume is normal, you can wait for a period of time.

Method 3: B ultrasound examination. Due date has not been born after the B ultrasound examination, there are several key indexes. 1) placental maturity. The maturity of placenta can be divided into first degree, second degree and third degree. If the maturity of placenta has reached the third degree, it indicates that the placenta is aging and can not provide the oxygen and nutrition needed by the fetus. Drug delivery should be considered. 2) amniotic fluid volume. On two vertical ultrasound planes, at least one amniotic cavity must be larger than 1 cm in diameter. If the volume of amniotic fluid is too small, termination of pregnancy should be considered. 3) fetal size. Too large fetus is easy to cause dystocia, or increase the chance of fetal distress due to prolonged labor. 4) umbilical cord blood flow velocity: Color Doppler ultrasound can measure umbilical cord blood flow velocity and reflect the size of blood flow resistance. In normal pregnancy, the resistance decreases with the increase of weeks, but if it is combined with fetal growth retardation or placental dysfunction, it will show abnormal changes. At this point, we should consider drug delivery.

matters needing attention

1. Accurate determination of the expected date of birth, if necessary, can rely on B-ultrasound to estimate gestational age. 2. Strengthen the health care during pregnancy and childbirth, and carry out prenatal examination regularly. 3. Proper activity during pregnancy, especially at the end of pregnancy, is conducive to the connection between the first exposure and the pelvic cavity.
