What is the reason for frequent uterine contractions at 33 weeks of pregnancy?

When a woman is 33 weeks pregnant, she has one or two severe contractions a day, as if her belly is about to burst. The previous one was a caesarean section, and the feeling of falling was not as strong as before. Anyway, I still have so many contractions every day, and my stomach becomes hard due to the contractions. I feel better after taking the medicine. I had severe uterine contractions right after I fell asleep a few days ago, and it was so severe that I couldn't even breathe. The doctor told me to be careful. Since this is our second child, the uterus needs to be thinner and looser. In this case, there is a concern about premature birth. It is best to wait until 39 weeks before having a cesarean section. I also had a cesarean section for my first baby. After 39 weeks, the baby will be more mature in all aspects. The doctor will perform a cesarean section on you. It got better later. Now I will explain to you what causes frequent uterine contractions during the 33rd week of pregnancy.

I don’t know if I’m too sensitive or if it’s really different from last time, but this time I felt false labor very early on. The first time it happened was around 5 months. At that time, I didn't realize it was false labor at first, but I realized it later. But generally speaking, if it is serious, it will be better after resting for two days. At the beginning, maybe it was because I was tired of taking care of my son, so I was still a lot more careless with my second child. My son weighed 30 kilograms, and I still occasionally held him when he was 4 or 5 months old. In addition, my parents-in-law were often not at home, so I was inevitably tired taking care of him alone, and then I had contractions. Later, I felt better when I lived alone.

It wasn't until 7 months and 28 weeks that false labor started to occur more frequently. One night, I had such a tight and painful stomach from the labor that I started to get worried. Later I asked the obstetrician about it, and he didn't care much about it, thinking that my frequency was not very high. I felt more relieved. More than a month has passed, and it is now more than 33 weeks. The contractions have started to increase again. They were particularly obvious yesterday. I had more than 10 contractions in a single day. There were more at night, an average of once or even twice an hour. Started to worry again. . . My husband hasn't come back yet. He won't come back until at least 37 weeks. I'm having so many contractions now. Will I have a premature birth? I want to ask if any of my sisters in the forum have experienced this situation. . Come find comfort. . Is it true that having too many false labor contractions will lead to premature birth?

Uterine contractions, also called prolonged contractions, are continuous contractions for several days before actual delivery. They occur frequently, without severe pain, are irregular, and have long intervals between them. Starting from the 28th week of pregnancy, false contractions will often occur in the abdomen. If a pregnant woman stands or sits in the same posture for a long time, she will feel her abdomen hardening from time to time. This is called false labor. Before delivery, false labor will become more and more frequent due to the traction and stimulation of the lower uterine segment by the descending fetal head. If you have frequent contractions, pain, or bleeding, go to the hospital immediately. The intervals between contractions vary, it may be once every ten minutes or more than an hour, there is no regular pattern, and the duration of each contraction is also different, it may be from a few minutes to more than ten minutes.

This phenomenon is more likely to occur when the expectant mother feels tired or excited. It is one of the signs of approaching delivery, but it is different from the regular uterine contractions before delivery. We also call it "false contractions", which often occur within 2-3 weeks before delivery. I believe that after reading the above introduction, everyone knows what is going on with frequent uterine contractions at 33 weeks of pregnancy.
