At this time, in the lower abdomen of most expectant mothers, a tubercle appears under the palm of the hand. It is very important not to press too hard so as not to injure the child. Actually, starting from this period, most likely, the position of the reproductive organ will be determined without difficulty.
The most correct option for determining the level of position of the reproductive organ is to visit a specialized medical institution, that is, a antenatal clinic or a private gynecologist. The specialist will be able to definitively make a diagnosis only after he has performed an examination in the mirrors and palpated the abdomen.
In the first trimester, this method of determining the presence or absence of pregnancy, as well as its duration, is the most accurate. During the procedure, the doctor will note that the reproductive organ is quite soft, and before 12 weeks it is located in the pelvic area, gradually becoming round in shape.
Subsequently, gradually with the growth of the fetus, the uterus loses its symmetry, and then again takes on the shape of a ball. If you feel that the reproductive organ has become hard or tense in the period from 12 to 14 weeks, this means that the tone has increased and there is a threat of miscarriage, accordingly, maintenance therapy is required.
While pregnant, expectant mothers try to protect their belly from traumatic factors. If you carry out the procedure of palpating the uterus too often or aggressively, or if you do not relax well, this can cause pain, bleeding, increased tone and even miscarriage.
If a woman has conducted an independent examination during pregnancy, after which she has pain in the pelvic organs, especially if it is of a spasmodic nature, it is necessary to urgently consult a gynecologist, since these symptoms precede a miscarriage or spontaneous abortion.
Actually, since the complications of incorrect self-diagnosis are really serious, it is difficult to understand why specialists are against home procedures.
