During the production period, women are very worried. Because I heard that there will be strong pain during production, so I am also nervous and anxious. I have learned that uterine contractions occur during production, and they occur every 56 minutes. I would like to know what causes uterine contractions at 56 minutes?
Uterine contractions occur every 56 minutes, generally indicating regular contractions and a sign of impending labor. But there are also cases where pregnant women experience false contractions. So in order to better distinguish, it is necessary to conduct an examination of the cervix. If redness is found during the examination and the fetal head is lowered, it is true uterine contractions, which usually occur within one to two days after redness. On the contrary, if these phenomena are not detected during examination, it may be a false uterine contraction, and production needs to wait for a short period of time.
A few weeks before delivery, the uterine muscles are more sensitive, and irregular contractions of the uterus occur, with short duration, weak strength, or limited to the lower part of the uterus. If it stops after a few hours and the cervix cannot be opened, it is not labor and is called false uterine contractions.
The contractions of the uterus during childbirth are regular. The initial interval is about 10 minutes. Pregnant women experience abdominal pain, which gradually increases in duration to 40-60 seconds. The interval time is shortened, about 3-5 minutes. When abdominal pain occurs during uterine contractions, the lower abdomen can feel very hard, so pregnant women should pay attention to it as a sign of childbirth and be prepared.
