In the late stages of pregnancy, it is almost time to give birth. If the fetus is born prematurely in the future, it is completely possible to survive. During late pregnancy, pregnant women often experience uterine contractions and abdominal pain. The emergence of this situation indicates that women may be about to give birth. So what should I do if I have uterine contractions and abdominal pain in late pregnancy?
1、 How to deal with uterine contractions and abdominal pain in late pregnancy
The location of painful contractions in expectant mothers varies, with some mothers experiencing them in the abdomen and others feeling them in the waist. The feeling of pain is not as intense as you imagine, and mild contractions may not be felt or be similar to lower abdominal pain during menstruation. When contractions cause mild pain, after a while, the pain gradually intensifies, the interval shortens, and the duration of pain prolongs. Uterine contractions surge like waves, with intermittent pain spreading to the lower abdomen or accompanied by a feeling of lower back pain and bowel movements. These contractions prepare for the birth of a baby. So this little pain is nothing, as long as you cooperate with a doctor and use the breathing exercises you have practiced to coordinate with contractions, you can smoothly pass the delivery stage.
Not everyone can feel the onset of contractions in a timely manner. I recommend a good method for calculating contractions to help you better understand your physical condition. When calculating uterine contractions, if the number of contractions per hour is around 10, it is considered relatively frequent. It is necessary to go to the hospital in a timely manner and take some medication to inhibit contractions under the guidance of a doctor to prevent premature birth.
If your symptoms are consistent with normal uterine contractions, there is no need to worry too much. If your symptoms are abnormal, seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition, it is important to rest when experiencing uterine contractions. Pregnant women do not need to be too nervous about normal uterine contractions, as long as they calculate the frequency of contractions and have a clear understanding. If they feel pain, bleeding, or flowing water, expectant mothers should consider the possibility of premature birth.
2、 How can expectant fathers help relieve uterine contractions pain
1. Transfer method. Every expectant mother must endure the pain and torment caused by uterine contractions. Although the pain that everyone can endure is different, this process takes a relatively long time, and as the contractions intensify, the pain keeps pouring in, making the pain felt by expectant mothers increasingly severe. At this point, a joke or two could no longer be effective, as the pain felt by expectant mothers was too strong to even laugh.
2. Relaxation method. Only expectant mothers who learn to relax can smoothly welcome the arrival of their babies. The intense pain caused by intense contractions before childbirth can make the expectant mother's body stiff. The contractions before delivery usually last for 8 hours, and expectant mothers entering an emergency preparedness state too early can easily deplete their physical strength, which is not conducive to the smooth progress of childbirth. This requires the expectant father to help his wife relax her body and give her tense muscles a rest.
This article provides a detailed introduction to some coping methods that should be taken for uterine contractions and abdominal pain, as well as some measures that expectant fathers can take when expectant mothers experience uterine contractions and abdominal pain. If you are a pregnant woman experiencing uterine contractions and abdominal pain, you can refer to the methods in this article to deal with it, which can help you easily handle everything.
