How long does it take to have a baby without stomach pain at 38 weeks?

Most pregnant women may go into labor within 24-48 hours, while a few may go into labor a few days or a week later, depending on the individual. Redness is one of the signs of preterm labor. After redness, regardless of whether there is abdominal pain and vaginal fluid, you should go to the hospital and perform an internal vaginal examination to understand the degree of dilatation of the uterus. If there is only a small amount of bleeding, no contractions or water breakage, and the uterine opening is not dilated, the fetus is in good condition in the uterus, the pregnant woman can stay at home for observation, avoid strenuous exercise, and make preparations before delivery, such as practicing relaxation, breathing control and distraction techniques, which can effectively relieve the discomfort during delivery. In case of redness followed by labor pains and water breakage, you should go to the hospital immediately with your family to await delivery. In addition to redness, irregular contractions and a sense of fetal descent are also signs of preterm labor. During the period of observation and waiting, attention should be paid to monitoring the fetal heartbeat and fetal movement, and normal labor examination. If abnormalities are found, symptomatic treatment is needed, and if necessary, the pregnancy should be ended by cesarean section. In addition, if the vaginal bleeding is bright red, similar to or exceeding the amount of menstruation, pathological conditions such as placenta abruptio or placenta praevia bleeding cannot be excluded and need to be treated urgently at the hospital.
