When women are about to give birth, they will experience uterine contractions, and the approximate delivery time can be determined by the duration and frequency of work. During childbirth, women may experience abdominal pain due to uterine contractions, which is not usually the case. So how do you count contractions?
You can observe the interval between each contraction and the time from the start to the end of the contractions. When a woman is about to give birth, contractions usually occur every 15 minutes for one minute, and then every 5 minutes for pain. The pain will become more and more severe, and when she is about to give birth, contractions will occur every minute for about 30 seconds each time.
Nowadays, people count uterine contractions through fetal heart rate monitoring devices. If they want to use this method, family members can calculate it through a watch. Once a pregnant woman experiences frequent contractions and her personality becomes shorter and shorter, the duration of each contraction becomes longer, which is a sign of labor.
If it is a normal uterine contraction, women do not feel pain, but during childbirth, the closer it is to the time of delivery, the more unbearable the pain becomes. During uterine contractions, women can use deep breathing as a method to relieve and speed up the labor process. Only faster childbirth can alleviate women's pain.
