39 weeks pregnant with a feeling of bowel movement from time to time, may be approaching labor. At 39 weeks pregnant, the pregnant woman is already in the late stage of pregnancy and is about to give birth. At this time, the fetus is already well-developed and belongs to the full-term fetus, and there is a possibility of delivery at any time. The feeling of having a bowel movement from time to time may be caused by the head of the fetus moving down into the pelvis and pressing on the intestines or by nerve reflexes. However, the feeling of having a bowel movement from time to time is not always a sign that labor is approaching, and a vaginal examination is needed to check the cervical score. It is important to see if the cervix is dilated, how soft or hard the cervix is, and where the head of the fetus is located to determine if this bowel movement is caused by the descending head of the fetus. Especially for pregnant women who have already given birth to a baby, their labor is shorter and once the mouth of the uterus opens quickly at the time of delivery, this is when the head of the fetus descends to the pelvic floor causing the feeling of bowel movement. So at this time, you should pay attention to the frequent stool sensation, once appeared as soon as possible to the hospital, to avoid causing emergency delivery, or even the newborn’s fall injury, etc..
