Doctors say that real contractions cannot be confused with anything. However, you can have time to mentally prepare yourself for them.
Backache
After the child is lowered to the very bottom, you may feel that the load on the lower back has increased significantly. It gets harder to walk.
Frequent stirring
Do not be afraid if your baby starts to move less often. It is quite possible that he is already preparing to leave his home very soon, but inside he is cramped. By the way, the navel, as a sign of an impending birth, may also soon begin to protrude.Frequent urination
As the pressure on your bladder gets stronger, you feel like you're going to the bathroom more often. In addition, before childbirth, the intestines can be cleansed due to spontaneous spasms. So, you may feel diarrhea and abdominal discomfort.
Weight loss
During pregnancy, you are probably already accustomed to the fact that the weight gradually increases. So, in the last weeks, on the contrary, it can go down by 1-2 kg. This can be explained by the release of excess water. And the more pronounced the woman's weight, the stronger the swelling and, as a result, she loses more weight in preparation for childbirth.
Changing taste preferences
A couple of days before giving birth, a woman's eating habits may suddenly change. Most often, her appetite is no longer the same as it was in the first trimester, and it is no longer necessary to eat "for two", therefore it is necessary to approach the choice of products in your diet as carefully as possible.
