Be careful with uterine contractions during mid-pregnancy

Ten months of pregnancy is a very difficult process. A woman's physical symptoms will change greatly during the pregnancy, and she will experience severe morning sickness. As the months go by, these morning sickness will gradually subside. The second trimester of pregnancy is a relatively easy stage, but some pregnant women will experience uterine contractions in the second trimester. Once uterine contractions occur in the second trimester of pregnancy, it needs to be taken seriously. So, what should you do if you experience uterine contractions during mid-pregnancy?

Some pregnant women may experience irregular, painless contractions during the second trimester, which is after the 12th and 14th weeks of pregnancy. The symptoms of this type of uterine contraction are acyclic and painless, which is generally normal. As long as the symptoms do not worsen, or there is no obvious abdominal pain, and there is no vaginal bleeding, no special treatment is required. If false labor occurs frequently, it will have a negative impact on the fetus. It will not only affect the blood circulation of the uterus, but also affect the nutrient supply of the fetus. In addition, frequent uterine contractions can cause symptoms of hypoxia in the fetus, which can easily lead to premature birth. Therefore, if uterine contractions occur in the second trimester of pregnancy, it is important to help alleviate them as much as possible.

First: If uterine contractions occur in the second trimester, the pregnant woman must lie down and rest immediately, and take deep breaths, which can help relax the abdomen.

Second: Generally speaking, when the uterus contracts in the middle of pregnancy, if you can rest in time, there will be some relief. However, if frequent uterine contractions occur, premature birth may occur. In this case, you need to go to the hospital immediately for prenatal treatment.

Third: It is recommended that pregnant women sleep on their left side when uterine contractions occur. This can help reduce false contractions, thereby helping to increase uterine blood volume and improve the oxygen production of the fetus.

It can be seen that if there are only mild uterine contractions and no pain, it is a normal physiological phenomenon, so pregnant women do not need to be overly anxious or worried. If there are frequent uterine contractions and accompanied by abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, you should pay attention to it. It may be a sign of premature birth. In this case, you should go to the hospital immediately to preserve the fetus.
