Intrapartum

The intranatal period is the period of intrauterine development of the fetus from the 28th week of pregnancy until the onset of labor.

The intrapartum period includes all events occurring immediately before the onset of labor and during labor (during 37 weeks of pregnancy).

During this period, a significant change in the hormonal background of a pregnant woman occurs, which can affect the well-being and condition of the fetus, as well as the course of labor.

During the intranatal period, the fetus receives oxygen and nutrients through the placenta, which provides its nutritional needs and protection from harmful influences.

Also during this period, the development of all organs and systems of the fetus occurs, which allows it to adapt to new living conditions after birth.

However, the intrapartum period can be dangerous for the fetus if any disturbances occur in the mother's body, for example, premature birth, hypoxia, infections and other diseases.

Therefore, it is important to monitor the health of a pregnant woman and conduct regular examinations to prevent possible complications.

Intranatal is a term that describes the period preceding the birth of a child. This term is used in obstetrics and gynecology to refer to the period when the fetus is in the womb and is preparing for birth. During the intrapartum period, important physiological and hormonal changes occur in the body of a woman and her unborn child.

At the beginning of pregnancy, the female body begins to produce hormones that prepare the uterus for implantation and fetal development. The uterus then continues to grow and prepare for labor. During pregnancy, a woman may experience some symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, changes in appetite and abdominal growth. She may also begin to feel fetal movements, which is another sign of the intrapartum period.

Sometimes complications arise during pregnancy, such as the threat of miscarriage or the threat of premature birth. In these cases, the doctor may recommend that the woman undergo an ultrasound to evaluate the condition of the fetus and uterus. If the intranal period proceeds normally, then all symptoms should decrease or disappear by the beginning of labor.
