The contraction of the uterus is called uterine contraction. From the beginning of pregnancy, the uterus will naturally experience sporadic and irregular contractions; these contractions are usually not strong, and pregnant women will not feel pain or cause changes in the cervix. This is called contraction in medicine.

Generally, the uterine pressure when not contracting is about 10 mmHg. When the uterine contraction pressure increases to greater than 25 mmHg, pregnant women will begin to feel soreness. This kind of pain is somewhat similar to the abdominal pain during menstruation. Not only does it cause discomfort in the lower abdomen, but it also hurts in the groin and even causes persistent lower back pain. In severe cases, it may be accompanied by increased vaginal discharge and vaginal bleeding. If there is abnormal discharge or bleeding, see a doctor as soon as possible.

Now that we know what uterine contractions are, how should we deal with them when they occur?

When uterine contractions occur, you should immediately lie down in bed and rest (lying on your left side), count the number of contractions within an hour, pay attention to any symptoms of premature birth, and observe fetal movements at all times. If you feel that the fetal movement is reduced, eat first or shake your abdomen with your hands to test and observe; if you are sure that there are symptoms of premature birth or reduced fetal movement, you should go to the hospital for treatment.
