When a pregnant woman's stomach starts to hurt after term (37 weeks), if it is not a bad stomach, it is a contraction.
Is the contraction about to give birth?
Not really. Starting in April and May, pregnant women will experience false contractions until the late stage, but the frequency of this work may become more frequent.
False contractions. Pseudocontractions are usually mild, short-lasting, and irregular. Generally, it does not cause pain in pregnant women, and there may be tension and stretching in the abdomen. The uterus may contract and harden and bulge slightly. But it didn't reach the level of pain. It is a normal physiological phenomenon.
It has been suggested that this false contraction may have been a rehearsal for the eventual delivery. It is also possible to give a massage to the baby in the belly to promote its growth and development.
It's not painful, itchy, it's irregular, it's basically false contractions that haven't run, don't be nervous in this situation, don't be in a hurry, take a break and observe for an hour or two, maybe he will disappear naturally.
Especially in the third trimester, many people have contractions in the middle of the night. It may last for two or three hours, but it will naturally disappear before dawn, and on the second day, it will be the same as a normal person.
There are also people who occasionally induce contractions when walking, but they are gone when they sit down and rest for a while.
True contractions. Regularity lasts for a long time and is intense.
The contractions of real labor will be more regular, often once every ten minutes, slowly shortened, progressive into four or five minutes, and finally into two or three minutes.
The pain also increases with the frequency of contractions.
This kind of company does not change because of the change of your position, and it does not disappear because you rest.
His continued presence is getting stronger and stronger. Activity may exacerbate it.
Accompanied by paroxysmal contractions, when the doctor does a ** examination, he will find that the cervix becomes soft and short, and the uterine opening slowly dilates.
The shortening and softening of the cervix and the dilation of the uterine opening are carried out in synergy.
At this time, we have to pay attention to the labor and need to go to the hospital.
Under normal circumstances, we will not wait until the uterine opening is opened, and the contractions are so painful that we can't stand it before going to the hospital.
If there are simple contractions, when should you decide whether to go or not?
1. If the contractions are particularly painful, go to the hospital.
2. If the interval between contractions is very short, go to the hospital.
3. If you feel okay, then carefully count the frequency of contractions. Five or six times an hour to go to the hospital.
That is to say, there will definitely be one contraction within 10 minutes, then this frequency is already relatively high, and you should go to the hospital at any time to prevent it from suddenly going into labor.
