If a expectant mother's contractions reach around ten times per hour before the due date, it can be considered as relatively frequent contractions. In order to prevent premature birth of the fetus, expectant mothers need to suppress uterine contractions in a timely manner. So how to suppress uterine contractions?
To suppress uterine contractions, it is necessary to go to the hospital and have a professional doctor prescribe some medication that can suppress contractions. Do not take medication without authorization to suppress contractions.
Sometimes taking medication alone cannot suppress uterine contractions. While taking medication, expectant mothers need to get sufficient rest and strictly pay attention to their abdomen to avoid stimulation.
In mid pregnancy, some expectant mothers may experience false contractions. If the contractions are not particularly frequent and are kept around three times a day, it is a normal phenomenon, and expectant mothers do not need to worry about it. But if the contractions are too frequent, they can reach more than ten times a day. Such frequent contractions can easily cause the baby to lack oxygen, so it is necessary to rush to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
Expectant mothers should pay attention to avoiding eating too much frozen food, as excessive frozen food can stimulate the uterus and cause uterine contractions.
As the due date approaches, there will be regular contractions accompanied by tolerable abdominal pain. If it occurs every 20 to 30 minutes and the interval becomes shorter, it indicates that the expectant mother is about to give birth.
But if uterine contractions occur in the late stage of pregnancy but there is still some time before the due date, accompanied by vaginal bleeding and increasingly severe pain, one should be alert to placental abruption, and expectant mothers must seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
In short, regardless of the type of uterine contractions, if you want to suppress them, you must seek help from a professional obstetrician and gynecologist in the hospital. Do not handle them privately.
