When the stomach at the pregnant woman falls - it is a question which concerns not only primipara women. Even at the second or third pregnancy most of women are inclined to worry about it.
The stomach falls at the end of pregnancy
Since 33-34 weeks of pregnancy at the woman the stomach can fall. It is connected with the fact that the child, being prepared for birth, holds a certain position. Most often head presentation meets. The child's head at the same time is hung in mother's basin. If before it was in an abdominal cavity, the last weeks most often the head will be in a basin.

When the stomach falls at primipara and povtornorodyashchy
The earliest when the stomach can fall is the middle of the last trimester of pregnancy. However in practice everything can be and in a different way. The stomach can fall to 29 weeks or remain in former situation on the term of 39 weeks. Not always the fallen stomach demonstrates fast approach of childbirth. It can happen also in a month before childbirth, and for couple of days. But most often it happens in 36-37 weeks. From this moment before childbirth, excepting special cases, there pass 2-3 weeks. Nobody, however, can guarantee that if the stomach fell today, tomorrow the child will not be going to be born. If at the woman the childbirth is expected not the first, the stomach, as a rule, falls on the 38th week of pregnancy. Meanwhile, at primipara women the interval from the moment of lowering of a head of the child in a basin before childbirth makes about three weeks, and at repeated childbirth this term can be about a week. At pregnancy the uterus changes position of bodies in an abdominal cavity of the woman a little. The grown stomach can press on lungs of the woman or on a stomach, causing inconveniences at breath or heartburn.
