What kind of pregnant women will have weak uterine contractions?

Uterine atony refers to the irregular and weak contraction of the cervix, which is generally divided into primary and secondary conditions. Generally, pregnant women with weak bodies, twins or pregnant women with twins, pregnant women with narrow pelvis, pregnant women with transverse fetuses, and pregnant women who are overly anxious and worried will have weak uterine contractions.

In addition, older mothers, primiparas or those with intrauterine infection may experience degeneration of uterine muscle tissue and hyperplasia of connective tissue, which affects uterine contractions. Uterine hypoplasia, uterine malformations, uterine fibroids, etc. can also cause primary uterine atony.

To prevent uterine atony, you must first pay attention to prenatal checkups and promptly understand the baby's size, growth status, and the mother's condition. Second, after regular uterine contractions occur, pay attention to replenishing energy in time and follow the doctor's instructions. Finally, during pregnancy, you should pay attention to proper exercise, such as climbing stairs, raising your legs in place and doing slow stair steps, which are beneficial for exercising the thighs, buttocks and other parts. However, you should pay attention to safety when exercising during pregnancy and avoid some intense jumping and running exercises.

It is necessary to carry out prenatal education for pregnant women, and after entering the delivery process, attach great importance to eliminating unnecessary ideological worries and psychological fears of pregnant women, so that pregnant women can understand that delivery is a physiological process and enhance their confidence in delivery.

At present, all countries in the world have entertainment delivery rooms (to allow their lovers and relatives to wait) and family wards, which are helpful in alleviating the anxiety of pregnant women and preventing contractions and fatigue caused by stress and anxiety. Pregnant women are encouraged to eat more meals before delivery and receive intravenous nutritional supplements when necessary. Avoiding excessive use of sedatives and paying attention to checking for cephalopelvic disproportion are all effective measures to prevent uterine atony. Pay attention to emptying the duodenum and bladder in time, and perform warm soapy water enema and catheterization when necessary.

Can I choose natural birth if I have weak uterine contractions?

Normal uterine contraction is very important for pregnant women to give birth. If there is weak uterine contraction, whether it is primary or secondary, it should be taken seriously, and the specific cause should be found to determine whether there are problems such as abnormal fetal position and cephalopelvic disproportion. In addition, the details of cervical dilation and descent of the presenting part should be understood. If a pregnant woman has weak uterine contraction, the doctor should make a judgment on whether she can give birth naturally based on her physical condition. Only after seeking the doctor's advice can a final decision be made. If the pregnant woman is in very good condition and has weak uterine contractions, she can choose natural birth. If she is in poor health and is prone to risks during delivery, it is best to choose a caesarean section.

To prevent uterine atony:

1. Pregnant women should pay attention to nutrition and diet before giving birth, because delivery is laborious and requires adequate nutritional supplements.

2. Soothe your own mood. Pregnant women should relax more before giving birth and listen to some music to reduce their anxiety.

3. Regular examinations are required before pregnancy.

4. Pregnant women should closely follow the doctor's instructions during delivery, and doctors and nurses should also pay close attention to the pregnant woman's delivery condition.

If the pregnant woman has weak uterine contractions due to anxiety and fear during delivery, her family should carefully communicate with her, pay attention to her and let her relax, so as to carry out normal delivery. The most important thing for pregnant women is to maintain a relaxed mood and an optimistic attitude, which is beneficial to childbirth.
