临产信号
Time really flies,距预产期只剩下短短的33天了。赶紧查查资料,再温习一遍临产前的各种症状。Hehe,早作准备,希望到时能临阵不慌。
According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the following symptoms indicate the onset of labor:
1. Bloody show(见红): You notice a pink stain on your underwear or toilet tissue. This indicates that you lost the mucus plug.
2. Rupture of membranes(破水): You feel fluid gush or trickle from your vagina, indicating that the bag of water containing your baby has ruptured.
3. Regular contractions that intensify(频率和强度不断增加的阵痛): You feel contractions that are frequent and increasingly painful. They don’t go away but instead intensify with physical activity.
4. Pain in lower back(放射性后背痛): You feel a regular and intense pain in your lower back that radiates to your lower abdomen and sometimes even to your legs.
5. Cramps that feel like intestinal upset(产生便意): You feel cramping that seems like the onset of diarrhea, and you may actually experience diarrhea.
Important note: Don’t insert tampons, take a tub bath, or have intercourse after the rupture of membranes. If the fluid from the rupture is tinted green, brown, or gold, contact your doctor immediately. This is a possible sign of fetal distress.
