During pregnancy, some pregnant women may experience uterine contractions before the due date. These contractions are not real contractions, but rather false contractions that do not lead to childbirth. However, false contractions can also easily lead to miscarriage. What are the reasons for frequent uterine contractions at 21 weeks of pregnancy?
The reason for frequent uterine contractions at 21 weeks of pregnancy may be due to the sensitivity of the uterine muscles, which can easily lead to irregular uterine contractions. This type of uterine contraction has a relatively short duration and weak strength, and its range is only in the lower abdomen or groin area. After a few hours, this condition will stop, and this contraction will not cause the uterus to open or the fetal head to descend. This type of contractions is called false contractions.
If there are frequent contractions at 21 weeks of pregnancy, and the contractions last more than 3 times in 20 minutes, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner to avoid miscarriage. At the same time, it is also necessary to rest in bed, pay attention to fetal movement and changes in abdominal pain.
At 21 weeks of pregnancy, the lower abdomen has significantly increased in size and weight, and at this time, it is also easy to feel fatigue, lower back pain, breast swelling and pain, and colostrum overflow. At this time, it is also necessary to control diet and avoid obesity, in order to prevent excessive weight gain, which is not conducive to postpartum recovery or difficult delivery caused by a large fetus.
