False labor lasts all night

If the baby has no sound before the due date, the pregnant mother should be alert to the arrival of false labor. False labor often occurs during late pregnancy. Under normal circumstances, false labor lasts for a short time, has weak energy, and has no regularity in timing. However, unlike real uterine contractions, false uterine contractions do not have much practical significance for delivery, and the cervical opening is not likely to change significantly.

1. False labor lasts all night

1. False labor is generally a sign of labor that is about to begin or occurs shortly after full term. If false labor occurs. We don't need to worry, especially when the intensity of uterine contraction is not strong. This kind of uterine contraction is normal and will not affect the fetus.

2. Some women are prone to false labor at night. This is because the hormone secretion of pregnant women is more active at night, and the oxytocin in the body will increase. Also, at night, they cannot distract their attention and will focus more on paying attention to their uterine contractions. Therefore, sensitive pregnant women will feel irregular uterine contractions all night long. You should pay more attention to this kind of situation. Once the uterine contraction becomes regular, or there is bleeding or rupture of amniotic fluid during pregnancy, you should go to the hospital immediately to have a complete examination by the doctor, and be hospitalized for delivery if necessary.

2. What is false labor?

False labor, also known as transitional uterine contraction, is a type of intermittent uterine contraction. Its characteristics are that the time of its occurrence is irregular and its level is sometimes strong and sometimes weak. False labor begins around 6 weeks of pregnancy, but you won't feel it until the second trimester. During labor, false labor will occur more and more frequently due to the expansion stimulation of the lower uterine segment caused by the descending fetal head. In the weeks before delivery, the uterine muscles are more sensitive and contractions may be irregular, short-lived, weak, or limited to the lower part of the uterus. It stops after several hours and cannot dilate the cervix, so it is not before delivery and is called false labor.

Symptoms of Hidden Uterine Contractions

1. In the second half of pregnancy, as the enlarged uterus begins to descend and the lowered head position of the fetus increases the pressure on the pelvis, pregnant women often feel that their abdomen is falling and their backs are bent. Starting from the 28th week of pregnancy, false labor 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 (i.e. abdominal tightness), which is false labor.

2. A few weeks before delivery, the uterine muscles are relatively sensitive, and irregular contractions may occur, lasting for a short time, with weak force, or only confined to the lower part of the uterus. It stops after several hours and cannot dilate the cervix, so it is not before delivery and is called false labor.

3. During labor, false labor will occur more and more frequently due to the expansion stimulation of the lower uterus caused by the descending fetal head.
