As the fetus grows, the uterus of a pregnant woman has the ability to squeeze the abdominal organs, as it changes its location and size, in pregnant women lowers the stomach. Evidence of such changes within the pregnant woman is heartburn, which occurs due to the fact that the stomach is under the ribs. Pressure on the lungs can also be put on, which leads to difficulty breathing. But this, as a rule, happens at the last stage of pregnancy due to a large abdomen, which can soon sink and facilitate breathing. The omitted stomach says that the body is ready for childbirth. But specifically to say when this happens, you cannot. Somewhere starting from 34 weeks, the stomach can slowly sink. This suggests that the fetus occupies a certain position and is preparing for childbirth. As a rule, the child occupies the head of the longitudinal presentation. This is when the child’s head falls into a woman’s small pelvis (before that she was in the abdominal cavity). But there are cases of the transverse position of the fetus, then the stomach can acquire a deformed shape. In such cases, a pregnant woman should be thoroughly controlled by doctors until the moment of childbirth. After the stomach sank, ceases to torment heartburn, breathing normalizes, and the abdominal organs return to their places. According to statistics, pregnant women begin to notice a lowered stomach at 36 weeks. But do not worry if at 37 weeks your stomach has not sank. Lowering the abdomen is a purely individual indicator, someone may fall in 30 weeks, and someone will not move in 39. In practice, you have to observe different cases. But this does not mean that it’s time to give birth. Therefore, it is impossible to predict the exact date of childbirth on the fact of the omitted abdomen of the pregnant woman. You can see information on pregnancy calendar, for example, /Calendar /. According to statistics, after the stomach to sink, it can pass to childbirth can pass 2-3 weeks. If the pregnancy is not the first, then the stomach may fall later. So, childbirth after lowering the abdomen will occur earlier than during the first pregnancy. In order to understand the stomach, or not, it is enough to apply the palm between the stomach and the chest of the pregnant woman. Freely the location of the palm indicates the lowered abdomen. Some discomfort will disappear, but new unpleasant sensations will appear, such as pulling sensations in the lower abdomen, pain in the legs and an unpleasant feeling in the perineum, pressure on the bladder.
