Methods and methods for pregnant women to self-judge the authenticity of uterine contractions
Normal contractions
Pregnant women may experience mild contractions during pregnancy, which are a natural response to the contraction of the uterine muscles. Under normal circumstances, uterine contractions are usually irregular, with uncertain intervals, short duration, and mild intensity, and are generally not accompanied by pain or discomfort. However, if the uterine contractions are severe, regular, long in duration, and short in interval, and accompanied by abdominal pain and discomfort, it may be true prenatal contractions.
Method 1: Observe the regularity of uterine contractions
One of the ways for pregnant women to self-judge the true contractions before delivery is to observe the regularity of the contractions. During the process of uterine contractions, if you can clearly see the regularity of uterine contractions, such as the intervals getting shorter and shorter and the duration getting longer, it is very likely that you have real contractions before delivery.
Method 2: Massage the abdomen with your hands
Pregnant women can massage their abdomen with their hands to feel contractions up close. If it is a false contraction, it will become less obvious or disappear soon after massage. But if it is true contractions before delivery, you will feel that the contractions become more and more obvious while you continue to massage.
In addition, pregnant women can also take some relaxation methods to relieve uterine contractions, such as taking deep breaths, changing positions, lying down and resting to see if the uterine contractions will ease or disappear.
Method 3: Measure the degree of cervical opening
Pregnant women can determine the authenticity of uterine contractions by measuring the opening of the cervix. The cervix refers to the cervix part of the uterus, which can be measured by gently inserting your finger into the cervix. If the opening of the cervix continues to increase, it means that the contractions are real. If the cervix does not change, it may be false contractions.
Method 4: Ask your doctor
Finally, if a pregnant woman feels uneasy, she can continue to ask her doctor. Doctors can check the condition of pregnant women to determine whether uterine contractions are true or false, and give corresponding suggestions and treatment.
Summary
Prepartum contractions are a condition that pregnant women may face during pregnancy. Pregnant women can use self-judgment to help themselves determine the authenticity of uterine contractions and understand the condition of their bodies. The first method is to consider the regularity of uterine contractions, the second method is to massage the abdomen with hands, and the third method is to measure the degree of uterine opening. Of course, pregnant women can also ask doctors for advice to learn more about the situation and make a timely and accurate judgment.
