How much is the uterine contraction pressure?

Uterine contractions mean that you are about to give birth, and you need to be prepared for the birth. First of all, you need to regulate your emotions and not let your emotions fluctuate too much, otherwise the delivery will become quite uncomfortable. If regular uterine contractions appear, it means that you are about to give birth, and you will also feel your abdomen becoming hard. These are all signs of delivery. Breathe steadily and don't breathe too quickly.

Uterine contractions are regular contractions of the uterus and are the main force of labor. Uterine contractions are an important feature of labor. They are irregular and weak at first, then gradually become regular, increasingly stronger, longer in duration, and shorter in intervals, such as 2-3 minutes at a time, lasting 50-60 seconds. The last few months of pregnancy are characterized by irregular uterine contractions, especially in the last few weeks. After the fetal movement, just put your hands on your abdomen and you will feel your abdomen hardening from time to time.

This type of contraction is irregular, non-cyclical, and painless. It runs through the entire process of delivery; the auxiliary force is the contraction force of the abdominal wall muscles, diaphragm and levator ani muscles, which only appears in the second and third stages of labor and works in coordination with the main force.

1. Falling - When the abdomen is accidentally hit, it will not only compress the fetus in the uterus, but also reduce the blood supply in the uterus due to pain and shock. Severe impacts may even cause early placental abruption, endangering the lives of the mother and fetus.

2. Lifting heavy objects - When lifting heavy objects or moving items, you will exert force on the waist and lower abdomen, causing abdominal compression and uterine congestion, so there is a risk of miscarriage or premature birth. If you have to (such as holding a child), it is best to squat down and bend over first, hold the child or object tightly, and then stand up and raise your waist.

3. Common causes─uterine infection or extrauterine infection, such as urinary tract infection and vaginitis. Abnormal placenta, abnormal uterus or an enlarged uterus, such as multiple pregnancy or hydatidiform mole.

4. Tension and excessive fatigue - Clinical observations show that pregnant women who are under excessive tension and fatigue for a long time are more likely to experience frequent uterine contractions.

There is a direct relationship between uterine contractions and the amount of activity of the pregnant woman. As the pregnancy progresses and the fetus grows larger, the pregnant woman's body burden becomes heavier and heavier. The uterus becomes more sensitive than usual, and even the slightest stimulation can cause the abdomen to harden.

Most uterine contractions are physiological phenomena. If the frequency is within the normal range, there is no problem. However, if the frequency is too high and there is no relief after more than an hour, you should go to the hospital for examination.

Bending the body or taking a posture that compresses the abdomen - During pregnancy, the center of gravity leans forward, so many expectant mothers will unconsciously bend over and hunch their backs, but this posture can easily cause pelvic collapse and the fetus cannot be maintained in the correct position. In addition, bending over will increase the burden on the body and cause pain in the back and lumbar spine.
