YOGYAKARTA For new parents, the birth of their first child is a very thrilling moment. Although an obstetrician has given an estimated birthday (HPL), sometimes births can come sooner or later. So what are the signs of giving birth, just counting the days for a pregnant mother?

The signs of birth are actually visible and felt by the mother. Here are the signs that usually appear when approaching the birthday.

Pregnant women who are getting closer to HPL usually experience cramps in the stomach and pelvis. This happens when the baby is under the pelvis. These wrinkles can be a sign that the birth of the baby is getting closer. At this moment both parents must start to be ready to welcome the baby's birth.

The bladder will be even more depressed along with the size of the mother's stomach which is getting bigger. The pressure on the bladder will increase the intensity of urination. This condition is often associated with the approaching delivery time. However, it must be noted that frequent defecation can also indicate other things.

The contraction will begin in the second trimester. The contraction could also be a sign that the delivery is getting closer. But there is also the term bratronized masks or fake contractions. But pregnant women also have to be on guard so they don't get into the delivery house late.

False contractions can be lost by giving in position. Meanwhile, the contraction in childbirth was not lost even though pregnant women changed positions.

According to the American Preganncy Association, mucus that resembles whiteness will accumulate in the cervix when childbirth is getting closer. That's why one of the signs of birth closer is the presence of thick mucus from the vagina. Mucus color is usually clear, or pink, both young and blood-like. This lens usually appears a few hours before delivery occurs.

This sign is accurate enough to determine the time of birth. This means that when birth occurs, a liquid will appear because of the rupture of the membrane. This fluid will come out continuously through the vagina, even the mother cannot control it.

When this happens, the fetus must be born immediately because most likely the baby is no longer protected by the membrane. Immediately take the pregnant woman to the maternity house so that nothing unwanted happens.

Those are signs of giving birth just counting days. You and your partner are advised to consult an obstetrician to prepare for a safe and smooth delivery process. Visit the VOI.ID news site for more interesting information.
