Week by Week Pregnancy 40-41. Week

It's easy to say, 41 weeks have passed and you are now in the last part of the pregnancy process. If it's your first child, you've probably had the most exciting 41 weeks of your life. These long exciting weeks may have overwhelmed you, but don't worry, that beautiful baby you will hold in your arms will make you forget everything. After you have your baby in your hands, you can start to follow the baby development section on our site month by month.

Your pregnancy may have passed 40 weeks, maybe 41 or 42 weeks, so this situation should not make you nervous. In almost half of the pregnancies, it is seen that the birth should be at the 40th week, but it exceeds this time. However, your doctor probably will not allow this process to pass the 42nd week. Generally, babies who pass the calculated date of birth are thought to be born late, not because they were born late, but because the date of conception was calculated incorrectly. In rare cases, babies can be born really late. In this case, the baby's skin may be dry and wrinkled, so you don't have to worry, this is a temporary situation. Babies who are born with long hair and nails are born.

How many grams - How many inches?

In the 41st week of pregnancy, your baby's weight will vary between 2800 grams and 4100 grams, and its length will vary between 50-55 cm. These numbers are general and may not always be exact. This should not make you panic; the important thing is that the baby under the control of the doctor is healthy.

As the birthday approaches, the baby will be more active. After all, an impatient baby is waiting to open his eyes to the world. If there is a decrease in their movements, it may mean that there is a problem. This week is critical as it is the last week. If you have a small discharge or leak, be sure to inform your doctor and your child may be coming at that moment, which you consider unimportant.

Your baby may not have taken a birth position this week, in this case, your doctor may try to change the direction of the baby with external intervention as a result of the checks he will make, if it is not successful, your probability of having a cesarean section increases.

Our advice before giving birth

• We can assure you that you will have sleepless and long nights after having a child. So, try to enjoy your last days.
• We definitely recommend you to go to the hairdresser. Meet your manicure, pedicure and other needs. You may not be able to go for a long time.
• Watch a movie, read a book, relax or sleep to relax your mind.
• Being near the end and thinking that everything can go wrong can create small-scale panic attacks in you. This is of no use to anyone. Don't think negative thoughts and relax yourself.
• Find out what you can do with your body after giving birth.

Approaching the Birth (baslik)

When the moment of birth comes, the body will sound its alarm. When that moment comes, you should reach the hospital as soon as possible but without putting yourself in danger. If you have a panic attack partner, you may have to calm yourself and your partner on the one hand. That's why we recommend that you have a long and serious talk with your partner about what to do when the time comes to give birth. Before birth, the body manifests itself in the following ways.

• Regular contractions that become more frequent and longer
• Vaginal discharge
• Birth water begins to come

It is recommended to wait around 1 hour to make sure that the contractions that have started are continuous. If you are sure that the contractions are continuous, it is time to go. However, if the hospital is not in a place that you can reach in a short time and is far away, we recommend that you do not risk it and set off when the contractions begin. Be sure that going and returning without giving birth will be better than an extremely risky birth on the way. Even if you went to the hospital for nothing, do not be angry with yourself or your spouse.

Hospital Process

When you arrive at the hospital, they will ask you questions such as whether you are bleeding, how often and regularly your contractions are, and whether your water has come. It is important that you specify them correctly. In addition, if there is an important or different situation that you think the doctor should know, you should also share it. These include things like allergic information, a major illness or medical history.

From here on, there is not much you can do anymore, you will leave yourself in the hands of the doctors and try to stay as calm as possible. Your doctor will give you various ultrasounds and tests. Be cooperative and let your partner help you too.

After the birth

With the sound of your baby crying, you will startle and realize that everything is over. We hope it will be a successful birth for you and your baby. After your doctor cuts the baby's umbilical cord, your baby is cleaned and dressed. The remaining placenta in your body is removed. The uterine tract and possible tears in your vagina are checked, and if necessary, necessary procedures are performed.

Now the birth process has come to the end. If there is no problem, the baby is brought to the room reserved for the mother and the first bonds between the mother and the baby begin to be established. At this moment, look deep into your baby's eyes. Talk to him and he will recognize you because he has been listening to your voice for months. Your voice will be good for him.
