Many pregnant women experience this condition, which is called painless uterine contractions. Sometimes it happens once every few days, and sometimes 2-3 times a day. It is normal.

Avoid drinking beverages containing caffeine, and don't drink too much water before going to bed; develop regular sleeping habits, and don't do excessive exercise before going to bed; it is best to choose to sleep on the left side of the pregnant woman to provide more blood to the fetus, which will make the baby more comfortable in the mother's belly, and also ensure that the mother sleeps comfortably.
