What are the symptoms of true uterine contractions?

Uterine contractions are one of the most important symptoms of labor for pregnant women. Once full-term pregnant women experience uterine contractions, they must immediately prepare for the birth of the fetus. However, some women will experience false uterine contractions for various reasons, which will hinder the accurate prediction of the birth of the fetus. Let’s take a look at the symptoms of true uterine contractions.

Uterine contraction refers to the regular contraction of the uterus, which is an important monitoring indicator in clinical prenatal examinations for pregnant women. The main sign of labor is regular uterine contractions. The fetus should be monitored during the perinatal period and delivery process, and the monitoring content includes two important indicators: fetal heart rate and uterine contraction. There is a contraction curve in the electronic fetal heart rate monitoring, which records the rate of rise and fall of contraction pressure, the maximum pressure, duration and the interval between two contractions. Uterine contractions can cause the fetal heart rate to speed up or slow down. The quality of uterine contractions can directly affect fetal heart rate movement and delivery.

Uterine contraction symptoms and coping methods:

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 uterine contraction is irregular, non-cyclical, and painless. By the due date, only painful uterine contractions are the precursor to labor.

Some women feel the pain of the beginning of uterine contractions in the abdomen, while others feel it in the waist. Don't be nervous and be scared by the pain. In fact, if the contractions are not strong, you may not feel them or they may be the same as the lower abdominal pain during menstruation. The intensity of pain also varies from person to person. The intensity of pain also varies from person to person. When uterine contractions cause slight pain, it passes after a while, and then gradually the pain becomes stronger, the intervals between them shorten, and the pain duration prolongs. The contractions come like waves, with waves of pain spreading to the lower abdomen, or there may be lower back pain and a feeling of defecation. This type of contraction is in preparation for the birth of the baby. So this little pain is nothing. As long as you cooperate with the doctor and use the breathing exercises you have practiced to coordinate the contractions, you can successfully go through the delivery.
