In the late stages of pregnancy, to some extent, expectant mothers will encounter a similar problem, which is uterine contractions. Sometimes I feel my stomach is hard and accompanied by brief back pain, giving me a feeling of having a big menstrual cycle. Actually, this feeling is called uterine contractions. The symptoms of late pregnancy may feel like contractions, but they are not painful. Let's take a look at the symptoms of uterine contractions in late pregnancy that are not painful.
Late pregnancy with uterine contractions but no pain symptoms
Symptoms of late pregnancy contractions: Pseudo contractions begin irregularly and have weaker intensity. True uterine contractions, on the other hand, manifest as gradually becoming more regular, with increasing intensity, prolonged duration, and shortened intervals, such as 2-3 minutes between contractions lasting 50-60 seconds. And from the initial pain to gradually shortening, the interval of pain becomes shorter and shorter, such as once every 4-5 minutes, and then gradually shortens to 30 seconds of pain.
What to do with uterine contractions in late pregnancy
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 the frequency of contractions is not very frequent and there is no abdominal pain, just pay attention to rest. Under normal circumstances, at 37 weeks of pregnancy, the position of the fetus in the mother's abdomen is constantly descending, the lower abdomen is bloated, and the frequency of irregular contractions increases. Pregnant women will constantly feel the urge to use the restroom, leading to an increase in bowel movements and vaginal discharge. It is important to maintain good hygiene as theoretically, childbirth may occur at any time.
The above is the relevant knowledge that the editor has introduced to you about having uterine contractions in the late stage of pregnancy without pain. Expectant mothers should not endure any symptoms alone. Because only we can deeply feel our physical state, and those around us don't have sharp eyes. If you don't tell everyone, they won't even know. This will undoubtedly increase the safety risks for the fetus and expectant mother. So whether it's painless contractions or painful contractions, they are both worth paying attention to.
