Female friends who are pregnant for the first time often experience anxiety and nervousness as their gestational age increases. Especially when entering the due date stage, there may be fear of upcoming uterine contractions and pain, as there is not much experience in pregnancy. So, what should I do if I experience uterine contractions during the due date?
1. When experiencing uterine contractions during the due date, expectant mothers should not be overly nervous and should calmly distinguish between true and false contractions. Pseudo uterine contractions usually have no regularity, nor do they gradually increase in intensity or frequency. It is important to rest in bed and avoid overexertion to reduce the triggering factors of pseudo uterine contractions.
2. If the uterine contractions and abdominal pain are relatively regular and gradually increase over time, and the duration of each contraction is around 40-60 seconds, the time interval also gradually shortens and increases. We should be highly vigilant about this type of uterine contraction pain, as regular contractions are a precursor to labor. Therefore, we should go to the hospital for prenatal check ups in a timely manner and actively wait for delivery.
3. If redness and water rupture occur during uterine contractions, it is necessary to stay in bed in a timely manner to alleviate the pain and avoid difficulties in labor caused by excessive loss of amniotic fluid. At this time, it is necessary to call 120 for consultation in a timely manner, and at the same time, elevate the buttocks to better alleviate uterine contractions and excessive loss of amniotic fluid.
