Some pregnant women are approaching their due date and experience abdominal pain, which is not persistent or regular. After resting for a while, they will feel better. Doctors say this is a false uterine contraction. Many pregnant women are not familiar with false uterine contractions and do not know how to deal with them. Now let me tell you what fake contractions are like?
False contractions are a common condition during pregnancy, which can occur at any time, sometimes at work or while sleeping. However, even if left untreated, these false contractions can be relieved with appropriate rest or a change in position.
False uterine contractions are irregular, without obvious pain, no uniform duration and interval, and the strength of the contractions is relatively weak. Due to the low pressure in the uterine cavity generated during contractions, pregnant women will not experience abdominal pain. False contractions do not cause the cervix to open or shorten, so they do not trigger childbirth.
This type of false uterine contractions often occurs two or four weeks before the due date, which is not harmful to pregnant women and fetuses. Sometimes it is also beneficial for the maturation of the uterine segment and helps the fetal head enter the pelvic cavity, which is of great help for later delivery. In the case of false uterine contractions, no special treatment is needed.
