Does frequent uterine contractions have any effect on the fetus?

Many pregnant women know that when uterine contractions occur in the late pregnancy, it means that the baby will be born soon. Of course, there are false contractions and true contractions. When real contractions occur, pregnant women will feel that the contractions are regular, and they will be accompanied by abdominal pain. The more frequent the contractions, the more severe the abdominal pain. Frequent contractions mean that the baby is about to be born.

Does frequent uterine contractions have any effect on the fetus?

Uterine contraction is an important feature of labor. In short, it is the regular contraction of the uterus. The contractions are irregular and weak at first, then gradually become regular, increasingly stronger, longer lasting, and shorter in intervals, such as 2-3 minutes at a time, and lasting 50-60 seconds.

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 contraction is irregular, non-cyclical, and painless.

How to prevent uterine contractions in daily life:

1. Don't walk too much or lift heavy objects.

2. Don’t accumulate stress. Accumulated stress can easily cause your abdomen to become hard. It is best to relax your body and mind.

3. When you feel tired, lying down and resting and keeping quiet will be very effective.

4. When uterine contractions occur, you can also try using breathing techniques to cope with them. Lie flat on your back, close your eyes, and breathe deeply through your nose. Breathe deeply through your mouth to relax your abdomen. After inhaling through your nose, hold your breath, and then exhale long.

5. Prevent catching cold. Air conditioning makes the lower limbs and waist too cold, which can easily cause uterine contractions.

How to relieve discomfort from contractions

1. Relax your body

Check whether all parts of the pregnant mother's body are relaxed and comfortable. Make sure that the pregnant mother's elbows, legs, lower back and neck are supported, and pay attention to whether the pregnant mother is in the most comfortable state at any time.

2. Breathe Correctly

When the pregnant mother feels panic or nervous because of the pain, the expectant father will be by her side to guide her in practicing the breathing method she has practiced and remind her of some key points that will help her relax.

3. Caring massage

The expectant father can also massage the pregnant mother to relieve her tension and discomfort.

4. Review your lessons

Remind pregnant mothers to do the delivery-assisting movements they practiced during pregnancy, and help them do it while reminding them of the key points.

5. Psychological Defense

Help pregnant mothers to work hard with confidence, obey the doctor's requirements and arrangements, and look forward to the baby's "emergence" with happiness.
