Frequent false labor is conducive to normal delivery

Many pregnant women will experience false labor during pregnancy. For some first-time pregnant women, they will be very panicked when labor occurs, especially when they are close to the due date. During this period, they always feel that they are about to give birth, but in fact, they will not really give birth. Many people believe that labor is caused by the movement of the fetus into the pelvis, which is conducive to normal delivery. So, are frequent false labor really conducive to normal delivery?

False labor occurs after 34 weeks of pregnancy and often occurs in late pregnancy. For some people, it is more obvious at night. When it is late at night and everyone is asleep, they can feel the uterus tightening. Some people have an obvious feeling of heaviness and distension, accompanied by lower back pain. This is a normal condition, called false labor, and it does not really occur. Pregnant women should have a good rest and divert their attention, and they can return to normal the next day. Some people have severe pain, and after being admitted to the hospital, they can rest for a night with the encouragement of doctors and nurses and return to normal the next day.

False labor is beneficial for childbirth. Childbirth is like running a marathon, which requires warming up beforehand. This false labor is equivalent to the body warming up beforehand. Once the warm-up is done, when the childbirth really starts, the childbirth process can be completed smoothly. Therefore, false labor is beneficial for childbirth. However, false labor should be controlled. If it occurs frequently, you should be hospitalized for treatment, because blood flow is cut off when the uterus contracts, and the baby is temporarily deprived of oxygen. In this case, if the fetal heart rate monitoring indicates that the child is in good condition, there is no need to worry. Women with false labor have uterine contractions, but the cervix is ​​not open and the contractions are uncoordinated, which can easily cause premature rupture of the fetal membranes. Pregnant women with inflammatory infections may also suffer from premature rupture of the fetal membranes. If false labor contractions are too frequent and strong and cannot be relieved, it may cause adverse factors to delivery. However, the probability of this happening is relatively small. Most false labor contractions are the uterus's way of regulating itself in preparation for labor.

In the last few months of pregnancy, especially in the last few weeks, pregnant mothers will experience irregular uterine contractions. These contractions are mostly false contractions, and pregnant mothers do not need to worry too much.

1. Change your posture. If the pregnant mother has been standing all the time, she can lie down for a while. If the pregnant mother has been sitting or lying down all the time, she can get up and walk around.

2. Drink 1-2 glasses of water. Dehydration may cause or worsen contractions, so you can also drink a glass of warm milk.

3. You can lie flat when uterine contractions occur. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, then exhale slowly through your mouth and relax your abdomen. If this method still does not resolve the discomfort, you can breathe in through your nose, hold your breath, and then exhale for a long time. It can not only eliminate psychological pressure, but also relieve discomfort.
