Before giving birth, many new mothers are inevitably very anxious. How do I know when I will give birth and whether I need to be hospitalized in advance? What should I pay attention to when the delivery period is approaching? Uterine contractions are one of the important signs before delivery. When contractions occur, I feel a lot of pain. So, is the labor pain uterine contractions?
Pains are not contractions, and there are some differences, but the feeling they bring to mothers is the same. When a mother experiences true uterine contractions in the later stages of pregnancy, it indicates that her labor is approaching, but she has not yet been able to give birth immediately. She needs to wait for the cervix to open to the appropriate level before giving birth. As the uterus contracts faster, the pain also increases, and this feeling is called labor pains. In fact, there is no significant difference between the two.
What are the signs of childbirth that a mother's body will show before giving birth?
1. Uterine contractions. Prenatal contractions are an important method for mothers to diagnose signs of labor, but it is important to note whether they are true or false contractions, and whether they are regular contractions can be determined.
2. A small amount of red is visible. Before labor, the fetus in the belly will have its fetal head lowered, which will compress the capillaries around the membranes, causing rupture and resulting in slight bleeding. If there is severe bleeding, the situation is critical and immediate medical attention is needed, which may be due to placental abruption.
