Hello doctor. I am currently 36 weeks and 6 days pregnant, with lower abdominal pain and a little bright red blood. The pain occurs once every 10 minutes. Each time the pain lasts about 20 seconds. Lying down and resting relieves the pain. I had an ultrasound and the uterus is not yet open. So, doctor, can you tell me what is wrong with me?

Labor is the final difficult process that pregnant mothers need to overcome to meet their baby after nine months and ten days of hard work. However, when this moment occurs, not all pregnant mothers can calmly face it to help this process go smoothly.

Amniocentesis is a prenatal test in which a small amount of amniotic fluid is withdrawn from the uterus through the abdominal wall under ultrasound guidance. This amniotic fluid is sent for genetic analysis, which can help detect any genetic disorders.

Amniotic fluid is an important factor in maintaining the development and survival of the fetus in the womb. Too little or too much amniotic fluid both pose potential risks to the fetus. So what is the average amount of amniotic fluid?

Amniocentesis is a procedure used for prenatal diagnosis after a doctor detects an abnormality in the fetus's chromosomes. So how is amniocentesis performed and what precautions should pregnant women take before having an amniocentesis test?

To detect the risk of fetal malformations early, doctors may prescribe amniocentesis for pregnant women in the late stages of pregnancy. So is amniocentesis safe and who should do it?

Stillbirth not only affects health but also damages the spirit of women and their families, especially in infertile families. Therefore, women need to have health check-ups and vaccinations before pregnancy.

Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) occurs when a baby has breathing problems due to inhaling meconium into the lungs.

Congenital constriction ring syndrome is a very rare disease in children and has a very high risk of leaving behind deformities. This syndrome manifests through deep creases on the child's limbs, so many parents mistakenly think that these are just creases caused by their child being chubby.

Depending on the time of pregnancy and the nature of the pain, pregnant women can accurately predict the type of uterine contractions, thereby helping to promptly protect the fetus in emergency situations such as premature labor, miscarriage, etc.

Amniotic fluid embolism is one of the serious obstetric complications, often occurring suddenly and without any warning signs. If the pregnant woman has severe amniotic fluid embolism and is not detected and treated promptly, it can be life-threatening. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent amniotic fluid embolism to ensure the health of the pregnant woman and fetus.
