Hello,
With the question " 40 weeks pregnant women with lower abdominal pain has any effect? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Your 40 weeks pregnant is full term, so you can give birth at any time. Early signs of labor are a mother's pregnancy that has reached the day the baby is about to be born. Signs can be noticed such as pain in the lower abdomen, sudden onset of abdominal pain, regular abdominal pain, abdominal pain lasting about 15-20 seconds, then resting for 3-5 minutes, after That pain repeats. The most important feature of contractions in labor is that the contractions are repetitive in nature. So if you monitor such a tingling that repeats every 5 - 10 minutes, you should go to the hospital.
If you still have questions about 40 weeks pregnant women with lower abdominal pain, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
