Everyone knows that being a mother is a sacred ministry, an infinite happiness for a woman. But frankly speaking, on the journey of 9 months 10 days pregnant, for many people, that feeling of happiness “has not appeared”. Instead, it was a wealth of hardships, fatigue, and physical changes.

For example, for the first time, mothers have to experience morning sickness, discomfort when smelling things that smell and vomit. Then the body began to gain weight, getting heavier and heavier. From about the last 3 months of pregnancy until about to give birth, there continue to be other changes that make pregnant mothers extremely tired.

Here are some of the symptoms that mothers experience when they are about to give birth. It is not at all pleasant at all, but it is showing that the baby in the belly develops healthy, pregnant mothers need not worry too much:

Tension in the abdomen

In the months leading up to the birth, mothers often feel a tight stomach, but it is not painful but quite uncomfortable. Next is the rule, on average 1 hour no more than 10 times there will be pain. This is a very common phenomenon of false contractions, pregnant mothers need not worry too much about it.

The cause of this condition is that nearing the due date, the baby’s head begins to slowly sink into the mother’s pelvis to facilitate a correct and convenient delivery. The mother’s stiffness and spasmodic pains indicate that the baby is “moving on” the correct process to prepare for birth. It shows that the child is developing steadily, healthy

Increase the frequency of going to the toilet at night, to the point that pregnant mothers are afraid to drink water

Mothers who are about to become pregnant in the first and second trimesters also go to the toilet often, and this feeling becomes clearer after entering the third trimester. Because of this, many mothers are afraid to drink water. Even so, they urinate quite a few times during the day and cannot sleep well at night when they often wake up to the toilet.

This condition is also caused by the much larger fetus, pressing on the bladder, creating pressure that makes pregnant women often feel sad to urinate and the bladder cannot store much water due to the cramped space. the baby grows up.

Because of going to the toilet, pregnant mothers are lazy to drink water, it is not good at all. Mothers still have to make sure to drink enough water every day. But don’t drink a large cup right away, but split it up into several times to reduce frequent defecation.

Pain occurs in many parts of the body

Low back pain and pubic pain manifest most clearly in the second trimester. After the fetus moves to a position to prepare for birth, the mother’s pelvis will be under greater pressure, the fetus is low, and the mother’s pubic bone will also be more painful. But that is also the message sent by the fetus “I am going to see you soon”. Therefore, give yourself a little bit of this uncomfortable pain as it is a sign that you are about to give birth.

Increase the amount of secretions

During the third trimester of pregnancy, expectant mothers continue to increase progesterone, leading to more secretion of the mother’s body. However, this translation has normal color and texture. In the event of an unusual or unpleasant color or odor, you should check it promptly.

In addition, pregnant mothers also pay attention to whether the secretions are red or brown or not. If the discharge turns like this, the amniotic fluid is most likely ruptured.

Despite such unpleasant things, this is a sign of the healthy development of the fetus and the coming date of birth. Besides, pregnant mothers also have some things that are more comfortable in the last months of pregnancy.

First of all, pregnant mothers find it easier to breathe when the fetus starts to fall deeper, leaving a wider upper space so it is easier to breathe.

Second, the space around the mother’s stomach is also more spacious in the third trimester due to the deep decline of the fetus, preparing for the birth process. At that time, pregnant mothers will have more appetite and eat more comfortably. However, mothers should also control eating scientifically, not to gain too much weight.

Finally, psychologically, when you know that your baby is healthy and about to be born and meet each other, the mother will feel happy, excited and comfortable dealing with some of these short-term discomfort.

Master Cuong said 5 years ago, he received a special case but perhaps even he saw it “how is it”. The girl named Hà, from Hải Phòng, was married, but the couple could not have sex. Every time the husband wants to ‘love’, the girl is afraid of crying and screaming. Therefore, the husband is no longer demanding from his wife.

The two only caressed the outside. Once Ha’s husband was determined to “break the fence” and put the ‘little boy’ in, his wife cried, tears filled his nose. Husband panicked too quickly surrendered and had vaginal ejaculation

After that special time the wife became pregnant. When visiting Dr. Cuong, the patient said that she had never had sex with her husband. The doctor suddenly “how can I be pregnant?” And when the girl told her due to her fear of pain, she refused to let her husband ‘love’ but was still pregnant.

Master Cuong said that this case is rare, but in medicine it can still happen that only a healthy sperm enters the uterus can still conceive. Many cases of vaginal ejaculation are still pregnant because there are certain sperm in the semen.

When she examined the girl, the doctor found that her hymen had disappeared and her vagina was constricting. The doctor checked because he found that the patient was accompanied by vaginitis but could not use a normal speculum but only took a tiny speculum with a finger and then gently spleen the vaginal cavity to get fluid. But the girl kept cowering, her whole body stiffening. Dr. Cuong saw that this was the reason why her husband could not have sex, because of fear, the harder the girl, the tighter the vagina.

Dr. Cuong has planned for the patient the possibility of having a cesarean section because he cannot give birth normally. But on the day of her labor, even though she had a lot of stomachache, she was still afraid to go to hospital. It was only when her sister was forced into the hospital that she opened 6 cm. Doctor Cuong was surprised because he only went to the hospital for a moment when the girl gave birth by vaginal delivery, giving birth normally. Later, the girl returned to her hometown, so Dr. Cuong did not know if he could have sex with her husband or not.

Or another case is that two young couples in Hanoi go to the hospital for an examination because they cannot have sex. The reason is that the wife suffers from the fear of having sex. Every time the couple wanted to do ‘sex’, the wife cried with tears, her mentality affected and gradually the husband could not get an erection.

When examining the patient, Dr. Cuong discovered that the girl had the uterus tip down so it caused pain during sex, 1 time of pain and the girl was afraid of obsession. Meanwhile, the vaginal cavity is a virtual cavity that expands when the woman relaxes her body and it will close tightly if the woman is frightened.

Master Ta Viet Cuong shares vaginal muscle contraction syndrome.

In these cases, meeting a husband with sexual skills and experience may also help his wife, but this husband does not have much experience with sex.

Meanwhile, Dr. Cuong said in Vietnam there is no major in sex studies, training people how to deal with sex. When it comes to sex, people still think it is a secret story and can not be revealed out.

Vaginismus Syndrome

The syndrome that the other women have, according to Dr. Cuong, the literature mentions it is a syndrome called “Vaginismus” which literally means pain when putting anything into the genital area (maybe the finger hands, penis …) caused by muscle contraction in the vagina.

This syndrome is divided into two types, primary occurring in people who have never had sex. Secondly, it is found in those who have ever had sex and for some reason, the relationship hurts like this. These cases are most common after normal birth, or have a condition with the genital pelvic area.

Master Cuong said although this is not a disease, but the problem of treatment is not simple, the first reason is always considered a delicate problem both for the patient and the medical professional.

Some cases can use sex therapy that instructs the patient to self-pleasure because vaginal spasms do not mean a woman becomes cold, does not want to have sex or does not love her partner. .

In addition, self-inducing self-pleasure can help alleviate your fear of having sex. Doctors believe that peak sensation is not the sole purpose of self-pleasure, but also a way to increase genital comfort.
