5 months of false labor every day

Everyone knows that before a pregnant woman gives birth, there will generally be three major signs: uterine contractions, spotting, and amniotic fluid rupture. But in fact, uterine contractions do not necessarily occur before giving birth. Most pregnant women will experience false labor in the late pregnancy, which makes it easy to confuse them into thinking that they are about to give birth. In fact, some pregnant women even begin to experience false labor in the second trimester of pregnancy. What is the cause of false labor in May of pregnancy?

What is the reason for false labor every day in May?

False labor usually occurs in the late pregnancy. Its characteristics are short duration, irregularity, and weak uterine contraction resistance. But some people experience it early and may have false labor as early as 14 weeks of pregnancy. Things like posture changes, holding urine, fetal movement, and external stimulation may all cause false labor, which generally do not need to be addressed. False labor may also occur in the fifth month of pregnancy. What we need to do now is to observe the state of uterine contraction. If uterine contraction becomes more and more frequent and the intensity of uterine contraction becomes stronger, we should be alert to the possibility of threatened miscarriage and should go to the hospital for pregnancy preservation treatment in time.

Causes of false labor in the fifth month of pregnancy

False labor occurs in the fifth month of pregnancy because if the pregnant woman stands or sits in the same posture for a long time, she will easily feel the abdomen hardening from time to time, which is the symptom of abdominal tightness.

What to do if you have false labor in the 5th month of pregnancy

1. Pay attention to rest. After the occurrence of false labor, you should immediately stop what you are doing and lie down to rest, and remember to sleep on your left side. If the uterus contractions are not very frequent and the pain is not very obvious, the symptoms can be alleviated by just paying attention to rest. Don't do long-term, intense exercise, otherwise the uterus may once again send out "signals" of protest. While resting, pregnant women should always observe their health conditions. If they experience premature birth symptoms such as spotting during pregnancy, they should go to the hospital for emergency treatment immediately.

2. Regulate your breathing and emotions. When pregnant women encounter false labor, they may have difficulty breathing due to anxiety. At this time, they should immediately adjust their breathing and relieve pressure. Even, slow, deep breaths help release pressure on the body's muscles and are useful regardless of whether it is a false labor or not. In addition, a good attitude is also a panacea for pregnant women. Psychological states such as irritability, restlessness, fear, etc. may aggravate false labor symptoms.

3. Remember to replenish water. Muscle cells may contract temporarily after dehydration, so mild dehydration may also be the cause of false labor.

4. It should be noted that you don’t need to take medicine on your own, and taking medicine generally cannot relieve the pain. At this time, the expectant mother should pay attention to rest, especially avoid irritating the abdomen. If uterine contractions are accompanied by more obvious abdominal pain, for example, the pain is so severe that you feel uneasy and your work and life are affected, and if the frequency of uterine contractions is around 10 times per hour, it is considered more frequent and you need to see a doctor.

Frequent false labor has a great impact on the fetus. It not only affects the blood circulation of the uterus, resulting in the inability to provide nutrients to the baby's growth and development, causing fetal malformation, but also causes the fetus to suffer from intrauterine hypoxia. In severe cases, it can cause fetal growth retardation. Therefore, if you find symptoms of frequent labor contractions, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid serious adverse effects.
