Women who are approaching their due date may experience uterine contractions and abdominal pain, which are effective indicators of impending delivery. Therefore, pregnant women who are close to their due date should strengthen prenatal checkups, among which prenatal checkups for fetal heart rate monitoring are also essential. And some pregnant women may experience abdominal pain during examination, but no contractions occur. So, what is the reason for the lack of contractions in fetal monitoring but still experiencing pain?
1. Fetal monitoring, also known as fetal heart rate monitoring, is a prenatal examination that checks whether the fetal heart rate is normal. During the fetal monitoring process, pregnant women who do not experience uterine contractions but experience abdominal pain are not an effective indication of imminent delivery. The reason for this type of abdominal pain may be due to excessive psychological tension, a cold in the abdomen, or spasms in the gastrointestinal tract, which can cause abdominal pain.
2. When pregnant women experience abdominal pain during fetal heart monitoring without symptoms of uterine contractions, they should also inform the doctor in a timely manner and undergo further targeted examinations to clarify the specific causes of abdominal pain and seek timely treatment, in order to avoid serious adverse consequences during pregnancy.
3. In addition, for women who are first-time mothers after pregnancy, they may not be very familiar with some of the signs that appear before giving birth due to not having experienced a complete pregnancy, nor do they have any pregnancy experience. Therefore, when abdominal pain or any other adverse conditions occur during pregnancy, one should be highly vigilant and seek timely medical attention for prenatal check ups.
