False contractions, as a rule, indicate an approaching birth.
They are aimed at preparing the walls of the uterus for the upcoming process. How to recognize false contractions? Pretty simple because they are irregular and a little painful. Most often, they begin in the last trimester of pregnancy at 38 weeks. If you have started a false fight, do not succumb to a
panic attack and get ready to the hospital, they will soon end. If you notice that every fight is accompanied by pain in the abdomen, lower back and sacrum, and the interval between them is reduced, this means that you have started giving birth.
What pain during contractions?
Many women in labor compare her with the pain that precedes the onset of menstruation. However, the strength of pain is individual for each woman, and it depends not only on the characteristics of the body, but also on the mood of the future mother. Also, the nature and intensity of pain can be affected by such aspects as the size of the pelvis and the fetus, the amount of amniotic fluid, what kind of birth a woman has, what is the time interval between them. During contractions, the cervix opens. Also, with each fight, the child gradually moves along the birth canal of the mother. Most often, the duration of labor is an average of 12 hours, but for women who have given birth before, the duration of labor is reduced. Most often, the time interval between fights is about 30 minutes, and the duration of the fight is about 10 seconds. Each time, the gap between them decreases, and the duration increases.
When is it necessary to call an ambulance?
It is advisable to record the intervals between contractions and their duration exactly at the moment when they started. You should go to the maternity hospital when contractions are regular and the interval between them is reduced to 20 minutes.
