During the late stages of pregnancy, there may be issues with uterine contractions, and effective contractions are essential for vaginal delivery. Under the pressure of uterine contractions, the fetus can enter the pelvic cavity smoothly, allowing it to enter the birth canal. How can we enhance uterine contractions? Can frequent fetal movements cause uterine contractions in late pregnancy?
When fetal movement occurs, it can cause certain stimulation to the uterus. Therefore, frequent fetal movement can help with uterine contractions, but it is not the main reason affecting uterine contractions. If you want to strengthen uterine contractions in late pregnancy, you should start from the following aspects:
One is sports. After the due date, if the fetus has not started, the mother can assist the fetus in entering the womb by walking, climbing stairs, and other means. However, during exercise, it is important to be aware that if there is premature rupture of amniotic fluid, it should be treated promptly, as excessive loss of amniotic fluid can cause the birth canal to become too dry during delivery, which is not conducive to fetal vaginal delivery.
The second is to adjust breathing. When uterine contractions occur in the late stages of pregnancy, adjusting breathing and taking deep breaths can help strengthen the contractions and bring greater compression to the uterus, which is more conducive to the fetus entering the womb.
The third is injection of oxytocin. Injecting some oxytocin before labor can promote uterine contractions, but after injecting oxytocin, the contractions may increase significantly in a short period of time. Therefore, it is important to stay in the hospital for delivery after injecting oxytocin.
