Is it normal to not be in labor at 39 weeks?

The absence of fetal pelvis at 39 weeks of pregnancy is generally a normal condition and will not necessarily affect the delivery of the pregnant woman. In fact, the pelvic state of the fetus is influenced by many factors, including the size of the pelvis, fetal orientation and the difference in the number of births. If the signs are normal, pregnant women can wait a little and continue to observe the baby’s pelvic situation; if there are abnormalities, they need to be dealt with in a timely manner to ensure the safety of production: 1. pelvic size: 39 weeks of pregnancy if the pelvis does not open smoothly, open too small, etc., will cause the fetus into the pelvic obstacle. At this time, professional doctors are needed to assess the pelvic state of pregnant women, whether they have the ability to deliver smoothly, and then decide the mode of delivery; 2, fetal orientation: if the fetal orientation is abnormal and the head-pelvis is not in proportion, it will also cause delayed fetal pelvic entry. At this time, it is recommended that the pregnant woman should undergo ultrasound testing. If there is no abnormal state, the pregnant woman can continue to wait until about 41 weeks before making a judgment. If there is cephalopelvic disproportion, pregnant women are recommended to choose whether to have a cesarean section under the guidance of the doctor; 3. Difference in the number of births: Generally speaking, the fetus of primiparous mothers will enter the pelvis 1-2 weeks earlier; while the fetus of menstrual mothers can enter the pelvis without the need to enter the pelvis earlier, and the fetus will enter the pelvis again when the contractions start after the delivery. Therefore, if you are a primigravida, you can discuss with your doctor to decide whether to observe for another two weeks after excluding problems such as pelvis and orientation; if you are a transitional mother, you can relax a little and wait for the natural birth of your baby.
