37 week fetal map

During the first two weeks before labor, because the first exposed part of the fetus descends into the pelvis and the bottom of the uterus descends, the primiparas often feel more comfortable in the upper abdomen, breathe faster and eat more. However, due to the descent of the first exposed part, the pelvic bladder, rectum and other tissues are compressed, and the lower abdomen is often distended, frequent urination and low back acid are often felt.

Pregnant women in 1-2 weeks before delivery, often have irregular uterine contraction, compared with postpartum uterine contraction has the following characteristics: short duration, long interval, and irregular, uterine contraction intensity does not increase, uterine contraction only causes slight pain and is limited to the lower abdomen, the cervix does not expand with it, a small amount of sedatives can inhibit this "false contraction".

At 37 weeks of gestation, it is equivalent to more than 9 months of gestation. The fetus is about 47-50cm in length and 2400-3000g in weight. It is full-term and in a fixed position, with no possibility of transposition. The fetal skin has no obvious wrinkles, subcutaneous fat is plump, the body is round, the body's various system organs are well developed, the function is relatively mature, the testicle has dropped into the scrotum, at this time the delivery can survive.
