Will the cervix open if the contractions are irregular?

Irregular uterine contractions are a very common condition, but not many people take it seriously. Uterine contractions are actually a normal physiological phenomenon, but if they occur frequently or irregularly, you should pay more attention, because such irregularities may lead to miscarriage.

1. Will the cervix open if the contractions are irregular?

Abdominal pain is considered to be caused by irregular uterine contractions. Irregular uterine contractions are generally ineffective contractions with weak contraction force. It is normal for the cervix to not open.

Lower back pain and obvious abdominal pain after activities may be caused by compression due to the lowering of the fetal presenting position in the late pregnancy. It usually heals within 2 weeks of the due date. Pay attention to fetal movements, fetal heart rate and changes in amniotic fluid. If regular uterine contractions occur, go to the hospital to give birth.

2. What to do if you can’t sleep due to uterine contraction pain

1. Hot compress: When pregnant women have severe uterine contraction pain, hot compress can be used to relieve the pain. Placing a warm water bottle on your back can relieve lower back pain caused by uterine contractions. You can also ask your family to help you massage your back, which also has a certain pain-relieving effect.

2. Breathing: During contractions, you can concentrate on your breathing and take slow, deep breaths. This will gradually relieve the pain and also divert some of your attention.

3. Rest: Childbirth is very energy- and physically demanding. When contractions occur, even if it is very painful, you must keep your emotions calm and get enough rest to conserve your energy.

3. How to relieve postpartum uterine contraction pain

1. Change sleeping position: let the mother sleep on her side and avoid standing or sitting for a long time. To relieve pain in the area, sitting on a cushion on the mother's buttocks may also help.

2. Massage the lower abdomen: In the first few days after delivery, his or her family can use the palm of their hands to help massage the massage ring until the feeling part can harden, promote the discharge of residual substances from the uterine cavity, and the pain is very severe. Massage can temporarily relax the uterine muscles and relieve pain.

3. Hot compress: Use a hot water bottle to heat your lower abdomen for half an hour each time. Be careful not to make the water temperature too high to avoid burns.
