37 weeks pregnant: symptoms, tips and more

Back when your baby was the size of a poppy seed, you were probably excited to know what the 8th or 9th month of pregnancy feels like....now you know this....life isn't that easy these days....you may have swelling and various other pains, but one fact remains: you are about to meet your baby.

Physical changes

Do you have a low belly?.. Friends, family and even strangers may examine your abdomen to get the answer to this common question.. A low belly refers to the lowering of the baby's head inside the birth canal in preparation for birth.. When the baby descends, his head presses against the bladder.... You may feel like you have to urinate constantly or have back pain or sit on one arm again with an exercise.. The worst pain...

Child

Your fetus is about 33 cm long and weighs more than 280 grams at 37 weeks....his main organs can function in the real world....brain and lungs still need more time to fully mature, but if the baby is born today, there is a good chance that it will function well....guess what color your baby's hair is?.

Formation of twins in the thirty-seventh week

Mothers of twins are six times more likely to deliver their babies early... There are a number of reasons a doctor may perform or plan a caesarean section.... In fact, researchers at the University of Adelaide recommend that mothers of multiples deliver by the 37th week to avoid complications.

Symptoms of pregnancy in week 37

In the thirty-seventh week, your pregnancy symptoms can be similar to the previous ones, these symptoms are:

• Swelling in organs
• Nausea
• Difficulty sleeping
• Braxton Hicks contractions

And those Braxton Hicks contractions may increase rapidly now.... Early in pregnancy, Braxton Hicks contractions probably won't cause many physical changes in you.... But now, even at irregular intervals, they can tighten the cervix in preparation for the day of delivery (so-called dilation).
To help ease your discomfort, try changing your position, drinking water, or resting. If your contractions last longer or become stronger, you may be in early labor.
In between your symptoms, give yourself more time to call....ask for help if someone is available....feeling uncomfortable and like you don't have much control over your body can be frustrating, but you are doing something important.

Actions to be taken this week to have a healthy pregnancy

If this isn't your first pregnancy, you might be surprised to learn that 37 weeks is no longer considered a "full term" in the medical world. That name changed in 2013, when the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine came up with four new definitions of "term":

The beginning of the semester is 37 to 38 weeks and 6 days
Full semester 39 to 40 weeks, 6 days
End of semester 41 to 41 weeks, 6 days
After the 42-week term and beyond

The last days of pregnancy can be long and nerve-wracking....you may feel excited and wish your little one was born a few weeks earlier....patience is the best gift you can give yourself and your baby....These guidelines have changed in response to the goals of planned deliveries and cesarean sections....39 week babies have a much better outcome than babies born earlier because organs have continued to grow during this time.... Babies need extra NICU care that affects their health and performance for life... Install the car seat and check it with your local birth attendant.... Write down any questions you have about the birth and bring them with you to your weekly doctor's visits.... Also, it's never too early to practice the breathing exercises you learned in childbirth class.

Time to call the doctor

You've probably noticed the times your baby is active and still active... Spend a few minutes a day counting kicks and recording other movements... If after regular follow-ups you notice that your baby is not moving enough, it is best to call your doctor... Your baby may be less active for a day... Decreased fetal movement may rarely indicate immediate cord accidents or other issues.

Final steps

The birth of your baby can be anywhere from a few days to a few weeks... This uncertainty can be very difficult to manage... Try to focus on when labor will start... Pack your hospital bag, finish the last things on your to-do list, go out for dinner and a movie and get a few more hours of sleep... Your life will soon change in an instant, so take care of yourself.
