Is false labor normal at 28 weeks?

If a pregnant woman noticeably feels a hardening in her lower abdomen, this is a symptom of uterine contractions. In most cases, the contractions experienced by pregnant women in the late stages of pregnancy are spontaneous contractions of the uterus, so this is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, for pregnant women in the middle and early stages of pregnancy, if uterine contractions occur, they are generally false contractions. So is it normal to have false labor at 28 weeks of pregnancy?

Generally, a pregnant woman's abdomen becomes hard due to uterine contractions. In the later stages of pregnancy, the fetus has grown very large and has gained a lot of weight. It is possible that the fetus's posture in the mother's body has pressed on the mother's nerves, causing the mother to feel sore. This is generally a normal phenomenon. When the fetus changes position, the symptoms may be relieved.

From the 28th week of pregnancy, expectant mothers begin to count fetal movements by themselves, usually 3-5 times per hour. The counting method is generally to count for 1 hour at fixed times in the morning, noon and evening every day. If it is more than 3 times per hour, it reflects that the fetus is in good condition. You can also multiply the sum of the number of fetal movements in the morning, noon and evening by 4, which is the number of fetal movements in 12 hours. If the fetal movement is less than 10 times, it indicates fetal intrauterine hypoxia.

Starting from the 28th week of pregnancy, "false contractions" will often occur in the abdomen. Its characteristics are that the time of occurrence is irregular and the degree varies from time to time. If the above symptoms only occur occasionally and do not last long, and there is no vaginal bleeding, there is no need to be nervous, as they are mostly normal. If the above phenomena occur frequently with short intervals, and there is obvious abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, etc., you should go to the hospital in time to avoid accidents.

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 uterine contraction is irregular, non-cyclical, and painless. By the due date, only painful uterine contractions are the precursor to labor. In the absence of birth, pay more attention and observation.

The above is my opinion on this issue that I would like to introduce to you. If a pregnant woman has the above problems, she should pay attention to taking appropriate treatment methods in time. This will ensure the safety of the pregnant woman and avoid dangerous situations caused by the above problems. Pay attention to timely treatment. Finally, I wish the pregnant woman safety and health.
