What does it feel like when an experienced baby is about to have contractions?

Cousin is pregnant for 38 weeks and the fetus is full-term. Because both parents didn't have time to take care of her, her husband deliberately asked for leave from the company and stayed at home with her.

One day, my cousin and her husband spent the afternoon happily shopping. When she got home, she felt more and more frequent contractions, a dull pain in her stomach and a feeling of falling. Holding her stomach, she quickly called her husband. "Husband, I have a stomachache. I think I'm going to have a baby!" " Seeing that his wife was sweating with pain, her husband quickly picked up his bag and drove her to the hospital.

Cousin is waiting in line at the hospital. When it was her turn, because she had a rest, she felt that the contractions disappeared, which was incredible. After examination, the doctor happily told her that it was a false contraction and the cervix was not open. She doesn't really want to have a baby. Real contractions are different. The young couple played a joke and it turned out to be only a fake contraction.

The difference between true and false contractions refers to the regular contraction of pregnant women's uterus. Uterine contractions are divided into false contractions and true contractions, which are very different.

1. The pain intensity is different.

The pain of false contractions is like a woman's menstruation. This kind of pain is tolerable for pregnant women. Moreover, after pregnant women rest or stop exercising, the uterine contraction is weakened, and the uterine contraction pain will be improved or even disappeared.

Real contractions are persistent pains. As contractions get stronger, pregnant women will feel severe abdominal pain. This unbearable pain makes pregnant women roll straight.

2. The frequency of contractions is different.

The real frequency of contractions is generally 20-30 minutes, and then the interval becomes shorter and shorter. From 15 minutes to 10 minutes, the duration of contractions will also be extended, from 20 seconds to 40 seconds. If the pregnant woman has contractions every 5 minutes for 50-60 seconds, then the pregnant woman will give birth.

Pseudocontractions occur irregularly and disappear after a few hours.

3. The location of pain is different.

Pseudocontractions, pregnant women only have abdominal pain, just like dysmenorrhea. Real uterine contraction, pregnant women can feel strong pain at the top of the uterus or above the navel. When the uterus contracts, push it from top to bottom.

4. The cervix is different.

Real contractions will soften the cervix, and then with the increase of contractions, the cervix will slowly open, expanding from 0 cm to 10 cm, that is, 1- 10 finger. During pseudo-contraction, the cervix of pregnant women will not expand.

If the parturient's uterine opening is fast, the pain will multiply within 2-3 hours. If the uterus of the parturient opens slowly, the pain will gradually increase, but it also means that the parturient will have a longer labor process and need to endure the pain of contractions for a long time.

What's it like to have contractions in labor? The expected date of delivery is not equal to the delivery period, and some pregnant women do not respond to delivery after 40 weeks of pregnancy. Only at the beginning of the fetus will pregnant women show signs of labor, such as redness, water bursting and contractions.

Miyaguchi 1-2 refers to the first pregnancy. I feel regular abdominal pain at the beginning of the contraction, lasting 10- 15 minutes. The pain is similar to menstruation, and the lower abdomen contracts in waves, but the pain is tolerable.

Open your mouth 3-4 fingers: when you open your mouth 1-2 fingers, you are still smiling. When I open my mouth for 3-4 fingers, I hold my husband's hand tightly and it hurts every 10 minutes. When the contractions hit, I was in a cold sweat with pain and felt that all my strength was drained by the pain.

Fingers 5-6 at the cervix: As the cervix is slowly opened, the pain will gradually escalate. It hurts every 2-3 minutes. I curled up in bed waiting for delivery, clutching my stomach and rolling around in pain. I ran to the toilet several times to relieve myself, only to find that it was just a feeling of defecation caused by contractions.

Uterus 7-8 refers to: contractions become more dense, and the whole body feels like being crushed by a car when it hurts. I clung to the guardrail on both sides of the bed and took advantage of the pain to catch my breath.

When the cervix is open to 8 fingers, I feel a hot stream gushing out from the bottom, and my amniotic fluid breaks, and then my contractions become more frequent.

Miyaguchi Kai9 9- 10/0 means: this is the most difficult stage. More and more want to defecate, the fetus desperately wants to understand. Try to control yourself every time. This period is really like a year. I've been praying. Let's open the palace quickly. The nurse in the hospital bed always encouraged me. She taught me to divert my attention by breathing. Every time I can't go on, I will talk to her.

In the extreme pain of uterine contraction, I slowly reached the full opening of the uterus. When the nurse announced that I could give birth, I was in tears and finally I could exert myself. Because it was a lateral incision, I cooperated with the doctor's instructions and gave birth to the baby within half an hour. At that moment, I felt liberated, and when I saw the baby, I felt everything was worth it!

Conclusion False contractions will be more frequent in pregnant women in the third trimester. If pregnant women learn these four points, they can distinguish between true and false contractions. When the real contraction comes, both primiparas and multiparas need to go to the hospital immediately.
