What causes frequent uterine contractions?

Pregnant women are particularly prone to uterine contractions in the late stages of pregnancy, because the fetus will also make some movements to enter the pelvis at this time, which will cause the cervix of the pregnant woman to begin to contract, and the pregnant woman will feel abdominal pain, but the pregnant woman will not go into labor at this time, because the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman will not rupture. So what causes frequent uterine contractions?

What causes frequent uterine contractions?

False labor is common in the late pregnancy. When this happens, you should pay attention to rest, avoid irritating your abdomen, and do not take any medication. If you have backache and abdominal pain, you should go to the hospital in time.

When false labor occurs frequently, you should pay attention to the following points:

1. Do not touch your belly when false labor occurs frequently, especially when you have labor contractions. In short, reduce stimulation to the uterus or fetus.

2. When false labor contractions are frequent, you should try to stay in bed and reduce activities.

3. Do not use drugs blindly for their effect of preserving the fetus.

4. If false labor occurs frequently and lower back pain and abdominal pain occur, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.

Are frequent false labors a problem?

In the late pregnancy, false labor is a common phenomenon. Pregnant women can judge it as long as they pay close attention and do not need to be too nervous. 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. This is called false labor. False labor, also known as prolonged labor, occurs when the intervals between contractions vary, from once every ten minutes to once every hour or more. There is no regular pattern, and the duration of each contraction is also different, ranging from a few minutes to more than ten minutes.

This phenomenon is more likely to occur when the expectant mother feels tired or excited. It is one of the signs of approaching delivery, but it is different from the real regular uterine contractions before delivery, so it is also called "false labor contractions". It often occurs within 2-3 weeks before delivery. Before delivery, false labor will become more and more frequent due to the traction and stimulation of the lower part of the uterus by the descending fetal head. 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 are obvious abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, etc., you should go to the hospital in time to avoid accidents.

Pregnant women in the late stages of pregnancy are advised to avoid walking too far and not standing for too long. If you have time, carefully record every regular fetal movement. In addition, participating in some childbirth courses appropriately and learning more about related content will make expectant mothers feel more at ease and feel more relaxed.
